Freedman et al. (2016) discussed that from a meta-analysis of five studies‚ the researcher concluded that a vitamin K antagonist such as warfarin can reduce stroke by up to 64% and mortality by 26% when compared with a placebo. To be able to prevent stroke related to a-fib the first step is to complete a stroke risk stratification using assessment tool such as the CHA2DS2-VASc. The chad score can help determine if anticoagulation therapy is recommended base of risk factors such has any congestive

Experiment 3: Stoichiometry of a Precipitation Reaction Abstract: In this experiment‚ the objective is to use Stoichiometry to predict the amount of product produced in a precipitation reaction. We received working knowledge of how to accurately measure reactants and products of the reaction. We then are able to use the data that we recorded to make assessments of the actual yield opposed to the theoretical yield. When we calculated the percent yield we are able
