NS if the set delivers 10
gtt/mL?
A. 50 minutes
B. 125 minutes
C. 40 minutes

which means 40 drops per
minute, so divide total drops
by 40 to get the number of
minutes:
5,000/40 = 125

is ... This represent who

triggered by Hepatitis
B, which is the most
common risk factor for
liver cancer. Thanks to
the work of medical
researchers who
develop new medicines,
I and all of my family
members have now
been vaccinated
against Hepatitis B.
This is the reason why I want to
attend graduate school, so I can
achieve my long term goal to
become a medical scientist. That
way I can use my knowledge and
skills to develop other vaccines
and medications that, hopefully,
will make great contributions for
the betterment of human life.
Therefore, I intend to continue to
push myself to do well in
college so that I can become the
medical researcher that I dream
of being.
