17 lbs, 6 ounces =____kg (Round to the nearest tenth & fill in the blank with the numerical value only)
Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is ["7.9"]

Convert the ounces to a fraction of a pound:

16 ounces = 1 pound.

6 ounces = 6/16 pound

= 0.375 pound

Total weight in pounds = 17 pounds + 0.375 pound = 17.375 pounds

1 kg= 2.2 pounds

Weight in kg = 17.375 pounds / 2.2 pounds/kg

                        =7.8977 kg

Round to the nearest tenth:

Rounded weight = 7.9 kg

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. Depression: While Propranolol has been associated with depressive symptoms in some patients, it is not an absolute contraindication. The risk-benefit ratio should be assessed, especially in individuals with severe or recurrent depression.
B. Glaucoma: Propranolol, particularly in ophthalmic form, may actually be used to treat glaucoma by reducing intraocular pressure. Therefore, glaucoma is not a contraindication to systemic beta-blocker therapy like Propranolol.
C. Migraines: Propranolol is commonly used for migraine prophylaxis due to its ability to stabilize vascular tone. It is not only safe but also effective in clients with migraine history and is frequently prescribed for this purpose.
D. Asthma: Propranolol is a non-selective beta-blocker and can block beta-2 receptors in the lungs, leading to bronchoconstriction. This can precipitate severe asthma attacks, making asthma a major contraindication to its use.
