How to Read Drug Labels
Medicines, or drugs, come as either prescription or over-the-counter. Prescription
drugs are used under a doctor's care. Over-the-counter (OTC) drugs can be bought
and used without a doctor's prescription, and you buy them at a drug store or grocery
store. When using any kind of drug, it is important to read the drug label for
instructions. Not following the instructions can hurt your health. Read the label each
time you use a drug, just in case there have been changes to it since the last time you
used it. See the drug labels below to know what to look for. If you read the label and
still have questions, call your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist for help.

shopping to Metrocentro. I like to eat pupusas. Los Planes de Renderos is a
beautiful landscape.
I like to eat pupusas. I like swimming. Santa Ana is one of the main
departments in El Salvador. I like to visit my people.
Pupusas is a very typical food of my country. They are made of cornmeal
and in some cases of rice meal. You can make them in the following way: mix
cornmeal and water in a bowl in order to form a thick mixture; add to this
mixture ground and refried beans, cheese and pork rind. Pat the mixture
between your hands into thin cakes. Place the cakes on a very hot comal.Cook the pupusas until one side browns, then turn to the other side. Enjoy
them!

bioengineers. The scope and sciences underpinning human medicine overlap many
other fields. Dentistry and psychology, while separate disciplines from medicine, are
considered medical fields. Nurse, midwives and physician assistants treat patients
and prescribe medication in many legal jurisdictions. Veterinarians apply similar
techniques as physicians to the care of animals. The original focus of veterinary
medicine was primarily the healthcare of domestic animals. In recent years the
discipline has broadened to include all vertebrate animals and even some of the more
economically valuable or scientifically interesting invertebrates. Veterinary and
human medicine had similar origins but diverged in the West largely under the
influence of Christian doctrine which emphasized a fundamental difference between
human and all other species. The two disciplines re-converged to some degree after
the Renaissance when scientific study of anatomy and physiology revealed
undeniable similarities between humans and other animals. The similarities further
extend into pathology and disease control leading the early pioneer in scientific
pathology Rudolph Virchow to proclaim the doctrine of "one medicine." Physicians
have many specializations and subspecializations which are listed below. There are
variations from country to country regarding which specialties certain subspecialtiesare in.
The Nature of MatterEverything around us consists of matter: this page, your body, the air you breathe,
and the water you drink. Matter is anything that has weight or mass and takes up
space. All matter may be classified as solid, liquid, or gas. Solids are firm and have a
definite form. Rubber, wood, glass, iron, cotton, and sand are all classified as solids.
A considerable force would be needed to change the shape or volume of an iron bar,
for example, because the atoms or molecules of a solid are densely packed and have
very little freedom of movement. Solids may be further divided into two classes:
crystalline and amorphous. Rocks, wood, paper, and cotton are crystalline solids.Crystalline solids are made up of atoms arranged in a definite pattern. When these
solids are heated, the change to a liquid, known as melting, is sharp and clear.
Amorphous substances include rubber, glass, and sulfur. In these substances, the
pattern of the atoms is not orderly, and when heated, they gradually soften. Liquids,
on the other hand, are not rigid. If water, milk, or oil is poured on a table, it will flow
all over the surface. The atoms or molecules of liquids attract each other and thereby
enable liquids to flow. But these atoms are loosely structured and do not keep their
shape. Therefore a liquid will take the shape of any container in which it is poured.
However, liquids have a definite volume; a quart of milk cannot fit in a pint
container. Gases, such as air, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, have no fixed shape or
volume of their own. They diffuse or spread out to fill any container. If water is put
into a tire, it will run to the bottom; if air is put into a tire, it fills the whole space

inside the tire. The atoms or molecules of gases are widely spaced and move very
rapidly. They either compress or expand to adapt to any area.
Pharmacy
Pharmacy is the health profession that links the health sciences with the chemicalsciences, and it is charged with ensuring the safe use of medication. The scope of
pharmacy practice includes more traditional roles such as compounding and
dispensing medications on the orders of physicians, and it also includes more modern
services related to patientcare, including clinical services, reviewing medications for
safety and efficacy, and providing drug information. Pharmacists, therefore, are
experts on drug therapy and are the primary health professionals who optimize
medication use to provide patients with positive health outcomes.
Drugs
Drugs are chemicals that change the way a person's body works. Drugs can be
classified into legal and illegal. Medicines are legal drugs, meaning doctors are
allowed to prescribe them for patients, stores can sell them, and people are allowed
to buy them. Cigarettes and alcohol are two other kinds of legal drugs. When people
talk about the "drug problem," they usually mean abusing legal drugs or using illegal
drugs, such as marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine, LSD, and heroin.
Chemistry
Chemistry is the science that studies matter at the atomic to macromolecular scale,the reactions,transformations and aggregations of matter, as well as the energy and
entropy released or absorbed during these processes. Moreover, chemistry studies
molecules, crystals, and metals and is concerned with the composition and statistical
properties of such structures, as well as their transformations and interactions to
become materials encountered in everyday life.
Sedatives
A sedative is a substance that depresses the central nervous system (CNS), resulting
in calmness, relaxation, reduction of anxiety, sleepiness, slowed breathing, slurredspeech, staggering gait, poor judgment, and slow, uncertain reflexes. Sedatives may
be referred to as tranquilizers, depressants, anxiolytics, soporifics, sleeping pills,
downers, or sedative-hypnotics. Sedatives can be abused to produce an overly-
calming effect (alcohol being the classic and most common sedating drug). At high
doses or when they are abused, many of these drugs can cause unconsciousness and
even death.

Acetaminophen
Paracetamol or acetaminophen is a common analgesic and antipyretic drug that is
used for the relief offever, headaches, and other minor aches and pains. Paracetamol
is also useful in managing more severe pains, allowing lower dosages of additional
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or opioid analgesics to be used, therebyminimizing overall side-effects.
Biology
Biology is the study of life and is concerned with such topics as classifying the
various forms of organisms, how species come into existence, and the interactions
they have with each other and with the natural environment. Biology covers a broad
spectrum of academic fields that are often viewed as independent disciplines. Many
of the sub-disciplines of biology are ancient, such as botany, zoology, and medicine.
Botany
Botany is the scientific study of plant life. As a branch of biology, it is also called
plant science(s) or plant biology. Botany covers a wide range of scientific disciplines
that study plants including: structure, growth, reproduction, metabolism,
development and diseases of plants, chemical properties and evolutionaryrelationships between different plant groups. The study of plants and botany began
with tribal lore, used to identify edible, medicinal and poisonous plants, making
botany one of the oldest sciences. From this ancient interest in plants, the scope of
botany has increased to include the study of over 550,000 kinds or species of living
organisms.
Mathematics
Mathematics is the body of knowledge centered on concepts such as quantity,
structure, space, and change, and also the academic discipline that studies them.
Through the use of abstraction and logical reasoning, mathematics evolved from
counting, calculation, measurement, and the systematic study of the shapes and
motions of physical objects. Mathematicians explore such concepts, aiming to
formulate new conjectures and establish their truth by rigorous deduction from
appropriately chosen axioms and definitions.

UNIT IIIntroduction to Reading Techniques
Basic Reading TechniquesPreviewing and Prediction
Reading techniques are strategies that are very useful in the understanding of a
composition. The two basic reading techniques we are going to begin with are:
previewing and prediction. Whenever you read a technical book, a short story, a fairy
tale, a novel, etc., you must proceed in the following way.
1. First, read the title of the literary work.
2. Then, read the name of the author(s). Do you know him/her/them? If
possible, find out any additional information about the author(s).
3. Is this a fiction or non-fiction literary work?
4. Look at any pictures, tables, charts, graphs, etc.
5. Notice if the literary work is divided into parts, units, chapters, and so forth.
Pay attention to names, numbers, dates, and words that stand out.
6. When reading paragraphs, read the first sentence of each paragraph and the
last paragraph
7. What can you predict that this literary work is about?
8. List some of the adjectives which can be found in the reviews on the back and
front covers of the literary work (if any).
9. Would you like to read this literary work? Why?
If you are going to use a textbook, the technique of previewing will be veryuseful for you. Study the following tips when you are going to preview a
textbook.
1. First, read the title, the name of the author(s), and the copyright page.
2. Then, read the table of contents. See if the textbook is divided in parts, units,
chapters, etc.
3. Scan the first part, unit, or chapter and look at the first page of each part, unit,or chapter.
4. Skim quickly through the final part, unit, or chapter.5. Finally, examine the reviews at the back of the book (if any).
Useful tips for previewing a textbook part, unit, or chapter.
1. First, read the title of the textbook part, unit, or chapter and look at all of the
illustrations.
2. If the part, unit, or chapter is divided into subparts, subunits, or subchapters
scan the headings of the part, unit, or chapter.
3. Then, read very quickly the first and last paragraphs of the part, unit, or
chapter.
4. Finally, read very quickly the summary or discussion questions (if any).

Applications of Technical Writing
Technical Writing DefinitionKey words
essays research composition journal drug reviews reportsinstructions research articles
What is technical writing?
Technical writing is the compact, precise, and detailed presentation of factual
information intended for practical uses or applications. Such applications may
include, for example, performing an experiment, solving a problem in
mathematics, writing a computer program, or operating a fax machine.
Examples of technical writing can be short compositions, essays, articles, book
reviews, etc. that can be found in journals or other specialized writtenpublications.
Lets begin with a definition of what a composition is.
The term composition, in written language, refers to the process and study of creatingwritten works or pieces ofliterature. This can be in the form ofpoetry, drama, essays
or prose.
Lets continue with the definition of what an essay is.
An essay is a short formal piece of writing, usually one dealing with a single subject.
An essay is a written composition that varies in length depending on the development
and the level of research reached about one single topic, in essay priors the writers
opinion. An essay is a piece of writing, usually from an author's personal point of
view. Essays are non-fictional but often subjective; while expository, they can also
include narrative. Essays can be literary criticism, political manifestos, and learned
arguments, observations of daily life, recollections, and reflections of the author.
Parts of an Essay
Introductory paragraph: aimed to attract the reader's attention and givehim/her an idea of the essay's focus.Supporting paragraphs: the topic of the essay must be explained, described,
or argued.
Concluding paragraph: the conclusion brings closure to the reader, summing
up the points or providing a final perspective on the topic.

Types of Essays
Definition Essay: in a definition essay, you take a term or an idea and write about
what it is; often, definitions are combined with classification or other forms of
organization in the essay. It is necessary to give a careful definition of the key term
before going on to discuss different types or examples.
Classification Essay: in a classification essay, things or ideas are separated intospecific categories and each of them is discussed. The essay is organized by defining
each classification and by giving examples of each type.
Descriptive Essay: in a descriptive essay, you write about what a person, place, orthing is like. The essay is organized by describing different parts or aspects of the
main subject.
Comparison and Contrast Essay: in a comparison and contrast essay, you write
about the similarities and differences between two or more people, places, or things.The essay is organized by writing about one subject first and then comparing it with
the second subject; a more effective way is to organize the essay by comparing each
subject by category.
Cause and Effect Essay: cause-and-effect writing gives reasons and explanations
for events, conditions, or behavior. It answers the need most of us have to understand
the world around us.
Exercise 9
In the following essays excerpts identify the dominant pattern of organization.
A history of computer viruses
In the following report, computer viruses will be explained in detail. A lengthy and
informative description of the evolution and history on microcomputer viruses will
be given, to give you a background of their origin for some understanding of how
they came to be. The next segment in the report is on how to combat computer
viruses with the development of anti-virus applications. The current status of
microcomputer viruses will also be discussed, naming the most common types of
viruses and the most harmful type at this present point in time. Details of the mostrecent outbreaks of computer viruses, such as the Melissa, I Love You and the
most recent Anna Kournikova viruses will be explained, and why they are so
harmful. I will also give you my recommendations on how to combat this threat of
computer viruses, what Anti-virus Applications that I believe should be used, and
why updating your virus definitions for these programs on a regular basis is so vital
and important in your quest to have a happy and uninfected computer. And finally, I
give you my conclusion in which I can only hope that you will find helpful. . .

Chemistry
Chemistry in society focuses on the problems that humans perform against the
ecosystem. This essay will discuss direct problems with the environment and ways in
which I personally can help solve these problems through making different decisions
in my life. The issues on hand will include air pollution, ozone depletion, and globalwarming. The solutions to these problems combine my ideas as well as those
discussed in class. Air pollution, as mentioned in class, is mainly due to four major
gaseous pollutants in our troposphere. The four pollutants consist of carbon
monoxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxide. Carbon monoxide which is
released from cars and furnaces can be the most deadly out of all four pollutants.
Small amounts of carbon monoxide that are inhaled cause learning disabilities where
large amounts can lead to death. Ozone is a special form of oxygen that has an odor
and can cause a reduction in the function of your lungs. Sulfur oxide and nitrogen
oxide both affect breathing which create lower resistance to respiratory infection and
tend to mostly target children and the elderly. Some solutions that I have come up
with to fight the problems of air pollution in . . .
Endangered species
In 1973 a law was passed that allowed endangered animals to be protected from
poachers. It is called the Endangered Species Act. The endangered species act still
helps animals who are endangered or threatened to become endangered today.
Currently, there are some problems with the act. For example, if a farmer has an
endangered species on his land that is destroying his crops or eating his herds, he can
not do anything about it because if he did, he would get in trouble with the law. He
could possibly go to jail and/or get a fine. Another problem is that we are protecting
animals that the public does not know are endangered. If we are protecting these rare
and endangered species, then why don't we know more about them? So we can know
what they look like in case a problem arises that causes the need for action to be
taken. This is just a couple of the many problems that people have with the
Endangered Species Act. What can people do to help them in these situations?
Some solutions to these problems mentioned above, for instance, the farmer, is that if
he is having problems with this animal then he should call the right authorities to
come and help him take this animal off his property. Some farmers would take
extreme measures. . .
Chinese Book Report
The book China Since 1945 written by author Stewart Ross opens in a description of
the Chinese Empire in the 1900s. There it describes the terrain of the Chinese lands
and thoroughly states the fact of having the Great Wall of China to keep out the
barbarians at 221 B.C. The author uses a very admiring tone of the Chinese Empire
and seems to think it is one of the very few best empires that have ever formed. Infact, Rozman states, the cultural and scientific achievements of the Chinese had
been immense, including the invention of paper, printing and gunpowder, and the
creation of the most exquisite paintings and by most Empire Critics China was one

Career choices
What is a pediatrician? A pediatrician is a physician who treats children. The choice
to care for children should be based on a love for children and a belief that it is a
significant accomplishment to make a difference in a child's life. As a bonus, a
pediatrician gets to hold his patients in his arms, to see them grow and change, and
years later, to see the adults they have become. Three responsibilities a pediatrician
assumes: conducting yearly health history survey, with care plans and intervention
guides as appropriate, monitoring immunization compliance and tuberculin skin
testing, and developing and implementing the health component of Individual
Education Plans. I chose to be a pediatrician because I have a love for children. I
have been around children my whole life; whenever I had my little cousins I couldnot resist just picking they up and they have always brought joy to my day. To
become a pediatrician, after high school I need four years of undergraduate courses
at a college or university, which will get me a BS, BA, or other Bachelor degrees.
After that I need four years of medical school, which will get me a MD or DO
degree. Then after completing that I become a general doctor and have three more
years of . . .
A biography of Alexander the Great
Alexander the Great is said to be one of the greatest conquerors of all time, and yet,
his significance in battle showed up late in his life. His early years were spent in
poverty, and as the years progressed, his dream of being a war hero grew dimmer and
dimmer. Ironically, while he was later known as a war hero, he was still feared by all
because of his reputation as a drinker and murderer, but first, his background. He was
born in 356 BC. His parents were Philip, the brother of King Perdiccas III of
Macedon, in Northern Greece. His mother was Olympias, daughter of King
Neoptolemus I of Epirus, in modern Albania. He also had a younger sister, Cleopatra
(not the famous Egyptian queen). However, this family was not as ordinary as one
might think. In fact, his parents absolutely hated each other. Philip had complied
with Macedonian tradition and had a few wives. Soon, one of his wives had a babywhich had mysteriously become disabled after birth. It was said that the disability
was due to poisoning from Olympias. Olympias sometimes told Alexander that
Philip was not his real father, but this probably was not true. After all, Philip
certainly did seem to care for Alexander as if he was his real son. He even appointed
Aristotle himself . . .

A Clockwork Orange
"A Clockwork Orange" is a very different movie. It has everything a movie should
have, but the plot is quite disturbing, especially for the time it came out. I have
personally watched this film several times to find the meaning, and every time I
watch it I come up with a different one. I am going to try to explain what this filmcontains as well as try to explain the plot. "A Clockwork Orange" is a story of a
young man whose principle interests are rape, ultra-violence, and Beethoven. It's
about a teen named Alex (Malcolm McDowell) who torments people in Britain in the
near future. He is then betrayed by his friends and caught by the police, after he had
murdered somebody. He was sent to live in a Juvenile Facility where he had to
endure a strange torture of being forced to watch horrific movies. When Alex gets
home, all the people that had done him wrong had their revenge on a weak,
recuperating Alex. I'll let you find out what happened at the end. "A Clockwork
Orange" is a cult classic. It was Stanley Kubrick's 2nd critically acclaimed film (the
first being "Spartacus"). I was first interested in the book by Anthony Burgess
(which in my opinion is equally as good as the movie). . .
Pollution
Is the air that we are breathing killing us? The average person takes about twenty
thousand breaths a day; obviously air is essential to life. Well imagine that the air
that you are breathing may be killing you, many diseases are aggravated by air
pollution. Scientists believe that all cities with populations exceeding 50,000 have
some degree of air pollution. Burning garbage in open dumps causes air pollution,
and also it smells pretty bad. Air pollution comes from many different sources. One
of the major sources is carbon monoxide which mainly comes from automobiles, but
also burning of fossil fuels, CFCs etc. Air pollution does not leave the Earth it all
gets trapped up in the atmosphere. This does not bother most people, and they think
that it will not harm them. People are burning down forests and fossil fuels, and
CFCs from aerosols. Every bit of this harms our atmosphere. Factories and
transportation depend on huge amounts of fuel billions of tons of coal and oil are
consumed around . . .
A brief history of robots
A robot can be defined as a programmable, self controlled device consisting of
electronic, electrical, or mechanical units. The notion of robots or robot-like
automates can be traced back to medieval times. Although people of that era did not
have a term to describe what we would eventually call a robot, they were
nevertheless imagining mechanisms that could perform human-like tasks. As early as
270 BC an ancient engineer named Ctesibus made organs and water clocks with
moveable figures. In medieval times, automatons, human-like figures run by hidden
mechanisms, were used to impress peasant worshipers in church into believing in a
higher power. The automatons, like the Clock Jack, created the illusion of self-
motion (moving without assistance). The Clock Jack was a mechanical figure thatcould strike time on a bell with its axe. This technology was virtually unheard of in
8/4/2019 Cambios Para Libro de Texto de Farmacia
33/67
33

toys for the very rich. They were made to look and move like humans or small
animals. Automatons like The Pretty Musician, built around 1890, were able to

Alice in Wonderland
Lewis Carrolls works Alices Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking
Glass and What Alice Found There are by many people considered nonsense books
for children. Of course, they are, but they are also much more. Lewis Carroll had a
great talent of intertwining nonsense and logic, and therefore creating sense within
nonsense. If you look past the nonsense you can find a new meaning other than the
one you found completing your third grade book report. You find that the books are
full of references and parallel aspects of Victorian Society such as topics of etiquette,education, and prejudice, and through these topics are shown a childs ability to
survive in a hostile world. By this last statement I am referring to Cohens comment
that Wonderland (published in1865) captures the disappointments, fears, and
bewilderment that all children encounter in their dealings with authoritarian,
pompous and mystifying adults which Wonderland seems to have no deficiency of.
Throughout the story Carroll portrays his views on the education of the times. He
makes morals and tales of obedience (Brown, May Lee) seem nonsensical by the
character of the Duchess and Alices preoccupation with her lessons. The Duchess
keeps insisting to Al. . . .

UNIT IVIntermediate Reading Techniques (I)Understanding Drug Reviews
Understanding Research ArticlesIn terms ofscientific literature,reviews are a category ofscientific paper, which
provides a synthesis of research on a topic at that moment in time. A
compilation of these reviews forms the core content of a 'tertiary' scientific
journal, with examples including Annual Reviews, the Nature Reviews series of
journals and Trends. A drug review is a series of information about a specific
drug.

GENERIC NAME: acetaminophen
BRAND NAME: Tylenol and many other
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Acetaminophen belongs to a class of drugscalled analgesics (pain relievers) and antipyretics (fever reducers). The exact
mechanism of action of acetaminophen is not known. Acetaminophen relieves pain
by elevating the pain threshold, that is, by requiring a greater amount of pain to
develop before it is felt by a person. It reduces fever through its action on the heat-
regulating center of the brain. Specifically, it tells the center to lower the body's
temperature when the temperature is elevated. Acetaminophen was approved by the
FDA in 1951.
PRESCRIPTION: no
GENERIC AVAILABLE: yesPREPARATIONS: Liquid suspension, chewable tablets, coated caplets, gel caps,
gel tabs, and suppositories. Common dosages are 325, 500 and 650 mg.STORAGE: Store tablets and solutions at room temperature 15-30C (59-86F).Suppositories should be refrigerated below 27C (80F).
PRESCRIBED FOR: Acetaminophen is used for the relief of fever as well as achesand pains associated with many conditions; acetaminophen relieves pain in mild
arthritis but has no effect on the underlying inflammation, redness and swelling of
the joint. If the pain is not due to inflammation, acetaminophen is as effective as
aspirin. It is as effective as the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen
(Motrin) in relieving the pain ofosteoarthritis of the knee.
DOSING: The oral dose for adults is 325 to 650 mg every 4-6 hours. The maximum
daily dose is 4 grams. The oral dose for a child is based on the child's age, and the
range is 40-650 mg every 4 hours.
When administered as a suppository, the adult dose is 650 mg every 4-6 hours. For
children, the dose is 80-325 mg every 4-6 hours depending on age.
DRUG INTERACTIONS: Acetaminophen is metabolized (eliminated byconversion to other chemicals) by the liver. Therefore drugs that increase the action
of liver enzymes that metabolize acetaminophen (e.g. carbamazepine, isoniazid, and
rifampin) may decrease the action of acetaminophen. The potential for
acetaminophen to harm the liver is increased when it is combined with alcohol or
drugs that also harm the liver.
PREGNANCY: Acetaminophen is used in all stages of pregnancy.
NURSING MOTHERS: Acetaminophen is excreted in breast milk in smallquantities. However, acetaminophen use by the nursing mother appears to be safe.
SIDE EFFECTS: When used appropriately, side effects are rare. The most seriousside effect is liver damage due to large doses, chronic use or concomitant use with
alcohol or other drugs that also damage the liver.

ACTIVE COMMUNICATION OF A PHARMACY DISCHARGE PLAN FORPATIENTS WITH RESPIRATORY DISEASES: A PILOT STUDY
Marie-France Beauchesne, Laura M Nenciu, Thanh-Ha Dinh, Michel Tass, AnneFillion, Manon Labrecque, and Lucie Blais
BACKGROUND: Drug-related problems (DRPs) are common following hospital
discharge. Active communication of a written pharmacy discharge plan may increasethe number of community pharmacists interventions.
OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of the active communication of a writtenpharmacy discharge plan.
METHODS: This was a pilot study comparing 2 groups of pharmacists over aperiod of 6 weeks. Participating community pharmacists were assigned to either the
control group (those who provided usual patient care during hospital stay and
transmission of a standard written pharmacy discharge plan) or the activecommunication group (those who, in addition to the usual care provided in the
control group and the written pharmacy discharge plan, included a list of up to 3
DRPs with proposed interventions to resolve them and a telephone call from the
hospital pharmacist to the community pharmacist to facilitate the transfer of
information). The patients enrolled were adults admitted to the respiratory unit of our
hospital who were returning home following their discharge. Patients were assigned
to the control or the active communication group based on the community pharmacy
where they usually filled their prescriptions.
RESULTS: Overall, 36 community pharmacists were included in the study andassigned to either the active communication (n = 17) or control group (n = 19). A
total of 22 patients were assigned to either the control group (n = 8) or the active
communication group (n = 14). The mean number of community pharmacist
interventions per patient was 4.2 in the active communication group and 0.9 in the
control group (p = 0.0004). The mean number of DRPs per patient for which there
was at least one intervention made by the community pharmacist was 2.8 in the
active communication group and 0.6 in the control group (p = 0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS: Results of this pilot study demonstrate that the active
communication of a written discharge plan may increase the number of interventions
by community pharmacists.

Mass volume ruler density dimensions balance reagent
Density is a property of matter that is defined as the ratio of an object's mass to its
volume. Mass is the amount of matter contained in an object and is commonly
measured in units of grams (g). Volume is the amount of space taken up by a
quantity of matter and is commonly expressed in cubic centimeters (cm3) or in
milliliters (ml) (1cm3
= 1 ml). In other words, density is the mass of a substance
divided by its volume; symbol , units kg/m3
. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3
.
An object placed in a liquid denser than itself will float, whereas an object denser
than the liquid will sink. Let us see an example: a typical brick has a mass of 2,268 gand occupies a volume of 1,230 cm
3. The density of the brick is therefore: 2,268
g/1,230 cm3
= 1.84 g/cm3.
Calculating the density of a regular piece of metalFirst of all, we will need a balance, a ruler, and a rectangular metal block.
a) We measure the dimensions of the block using the ruler.
b) We calculate the volume of the block with the formula lwh (length x width x
height).
c) Next we weigh the block on the balance.
d) Then we calculate the density with the equation m/v.

Calculating the density of an irregular piece of metalIn order to calculate the density of an irregular piece of metal we will use a length of
thread, a balance, a displacement vessel, a measuring cylinder, a tooth brush, an
irregular piece of metal, and some water.
a) We clean carefully the irregular piece of solid with the tooth brush.
b) We put the irregular piece of solid on the balance.
c) We weigh accurately its mass.
d) We fill the displacement vessel with water.
e)
We attach the cotton of thread to the solid.f) We put the measuring cylinder under the displacement vessel.
g) We lower gently the solid into the displacement vessel.
h) We note the volume of water.
i) We calculate the density of the solid with the equation m/v.

un experimento.
Experiment 1 Date:
Aim To determine the composition of an irregular piece of unknown metal
Equipment a tooth brush a displacement vessel
a balance a measuring cylinder
a length of thread some water
Procedure
1 The metal was first cleaned with the tooth brush. All the oxides and dirt wereremoved.
2 Then the metal was accurately weighed on the balance. Its mass was 212.5 g.3 The displacement vessel was filled with water and the excess water was
allowed to overflow.
4 Next the thread wasattached to the piece of metal and it was gently loweredinto the displacement vessel.
5 The displaced water wasallowed to overflow into the cylinder and its volumewas carefully noted. The volume of the displaced water was approximately 25
cm3.
6 Finally the density of the metal wascalculated with the equation:
m/v
212.5/25
8.5 g/cm3
ConclusionThe density of brass is normally 8.4 8.7 g/cm3
and the density of bronze is normally
8.8 8.9 g/cm3.
Therefore, this piece of metal is probably brass.

UNIT VIIntermediate Reading Techniques (II)
Guessing Word MeaningGuessing word meaning is a reading technique that has as a purpose to make people
efficient in reading. When you are reading any kind of written material you must be
able to understand the text without consulting a dictionary, asking a classmate oryour professor if you find some word or words you do not know the meaning. This
technique is aided by four subtechniques: cognates, context, word formation, and
definition.
Cognates: words that have similar pronunciations and spellings in both languages,
and frequently have the same meaning. They can be divided into true cognates and
false cognates. E.g.: university, traduce, abate, hospital, compose.
Exercise 18Following there is a list of some words. Using your English-Spanish dictionary
identify them if they are true or false cognates.
Drug casualty pastelApproach traduce parent
Administration absorbance exit
Bottom familiar syringe
Facility gripe dose
Exercise 19Identify all the cognates in the following texts.
Powder injection is an innovative drug delivery technique that provides needle-free
and pain-free delivery of traditional pharmaceuticals. Drug-containing particles are
speeded up to high velocities using the energy of a transient helium gas jet in a cheap
hand-held device, and delivered directly into skin or other tissues. Iontophoresis is a
non-invasive technique that uses a mild electric current to deliver drugs through the
skin into the bloodstream. Iontophoretic systems consist of a drug-filled patch and a
miniaturised, battery-powered unit with integrated microcomputers controls, which is
worn in the same way as existing passive transdermal patches.
Context: the environment in a written text which surround a particular word, phrase,etc., and which contributes to the full meaning of the word, phrase, etc., in question.
Exercise 20Try to guess the meaning of the highlighted words in the following passage.
The federal government, displaying even less sense than usual, has yielded to theFrench fry industry. Frozen French friessliced, fried in oil, and then packaged
are now approved as fresh vegetables by the US Department of Agriculture. The
French fry industry has been petitioning the USDA for years to get this approval.
They say that their product is similar to cucumbers that have a wax coating. They
argue that they use 100 percent vegetable oil, which is much healthier for consumers
than plain wax. Most consumers, of course, beg to differ. You must be joking, said
Annie, 50. How can you consider a product that is deep-fried in oil to be a fresh
vegetable? Even if I steamed broccoli, I could no longer call it fresh broccoliit is
cooked! I wish I were a lobbyist, so my congressman would help me. Unfortunately,Im only a tax-paying citizen. The USDA defends its decision, saying that potatoes
undeniably are vegetables. Although French fries are fried in oil, they are stillpotatoes. If you let them sit on your countertop for a couple of weeks, a USDA

spokesman said, the fries will rot just like all other fresh vegetables. Consumer
advocates say the USDA has totally lost touch with the consumers. They would
probably declare that eggshells are nutritious if a lobbyist asked them to, said one
advocate.
