Purpose: As there were four different parts, each one had a specific goal. Part 1 was to identify over-the-counter drugs that are easy for the average person to obtain. Drugs like aspirin, acetaminophen, sodium bicarbonate, and effervescent antacid were tested with H2O, pH, HCl, and FN to see if there was a reaction. This helped to determine the unknowns. Part two was meant to identify illegal drugs. Simulated marijuana, LSD, and cocaine were tested with their fluorescence under a blacklight and reactions with HCl, Scott reagent, and Van Urk. Part three involved the identification of heavy metals. Mercury, lead, and an unknown were reacted with potassium dichromate to see the changes. Part four was a chromatography test of nitrogenous bases with simulated urine. This was used to find which amino acids were in the urine.

This requires many different tests to determine what substance each one is. Things like over the counter drugs such as used in part 1 can be easily accessed. Some require that a person only has a certain amount of them. They are typically used for medical uses; aspirin can be used as pain relief and to help for fevers. When given an unknown, it is possible that these drugs can be compared by how they react with other substances. Test 1 revealed that it was simple with careful observation to determine what an unknown is and to therefore use those results across multiple
Third, we did a hair examination and compared strands of hair. Fourth, we also tested the pills which we found by seeing if the pill sample would react to a substance. Fifth, we also tested vomit macromolecules with iodine, solution and hot water to see if it would react to a specific substance. Lastly, we also performed a test to determine Anna’s body temperature at the time of the scene as well as a blood splatter test to determine if she fell or not.
After the experiment was performed one could determine if the ingredient contained that substance. The first ingredient tested was the beef patty. After the four tests it was found that
Our objective for the Sherlock Holmes Experiment was to illustrate that some chemicals can be identified or differentiated by simple chemical tests, such as solubility, pH, or color tests. In our group we had to test come common powders such as Alka-Seltzer, baking soda, flour, Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), and salt. Other chemicals that were used to do this experiment were vinegar, and Iodine 2 Solution. The equipment used to do this experiment was red litmus paper, and 5 test tubes per group.
Before putting this to effect, the drug had to be tested to see possible drastic side
3. What category is this type of testing, Biochemical, serological, genotypic? A serological test was performed
Goal 1: Identify your patients correctly. Using two patient identifiers ensures that you provide the right care to your patients.
Each antacid solution, consisting with one tablet and 20 mL of HCl, was titrated in the total of two trials with the exception Medi-First which had three trials. Table 2 shows the amount of HCl neutralized in moles and the volume of NaOH dispensed in
I do believe taking over the counter medication can help with pain. However, I also feel that with out plenty of fluid intake the medication is just acting as a bandage. I have been told by a doctor one of the best things to do is drink beer, which promotes urination and helps numb the pain just a bit.
The OTC medication chosen is NiteTime Server, this is a genetic brand pain and fever reliever. It tells what symptoms it relieves such as headache, fever, sour throat, minor aches and pains. The product has as its active ingredient both 650 mg of Acetaminophen for pain reduction and fever reducer. It also has 20 mg of Dextromethorphan HBr which is a cough suppressant. The label clearly defines what the active ingredients do as well as a warning label. Some of the warnings are that taking large doses of Acetaminophen can be sever on the liver. The warnings also mention about not consuming three or more alcoholic beverages with this medication. If a sever sore throat last longer than two days the user is advised to call their doctor. The label
“Panacetin” is a common painkiller. It is known that Panacetin contains 8-12% sucrose, 35-45% aspirin, and 45-55% of another unknown active ingredient, but if counterfeited, this active ingredient would most likely be acetanilide or phenacetin. In this experiment, students are given a sample of Panacetin that is suspected to be a counterfeit . Students are instructed to separate its components and calculate what percentages of aspirin, sucrose, and the unknown component are present in the drug in order to determine if the composition is stated accurately on the label. Different filtration techniques were employed in order to obtain the pure components of the drug. Once the unknown component was obtained, it was possible to take the melting points of the unknown, the unknown mixed with acetanilide, and the unknown mixed with phenacetin. The melting points were compared in order to identify the unknown.
A urinalysis is a test which evaluates a sample of urine. This examination is used to detect and estimate various abnormal conditions, such as kidney disease, urinary tract infections, and even diabetes. A urinalysis includes investigating the appearance, concentration, and content of the urine. By evaluating these aspects of urine, one can assess the overall health, diagnose a medical condition, or monitor a medical condition of an individual (WCCC.).
What are the different drugs that can be detected by this hair follicle drug test?
Administer over the counter drugs as part of practice that accountable of decisions , outcomes and must follow standards of practice. Before recommending or administering on over the counter medications there are few nurses role must follow to avoid from abusing the over the counter drug provision.
Look up these tests and answer the following questions: Blood Agar, Catalase, Citrate, Coagulase, Indole, Methyl Red, Motility, TSI, Urea,
Examination of by-product type and impurity composition is used to identify the mechanism used to synthesize MDMA. A recent study showed that a number of marker impurities could be used to characterize specific synthesis (Swist, Wilamowski, & Parczewski, Determination of synthesis method of ecstasy based on the basic impurities, 2005). The ability to profile synthesis based on impurity type and presence can be utilized in investigative processes such as drug seizure cases whereby drug batches can be traced back to the (maker).
