General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: An Integrated Approach 4th Edition

Book Preface

WileyPLUS is an innovative, research-based online environment for effective teaching and learning.
WileyPLUS builds students’ confidence because it takes the guesswork out of studying by providing students with a clear road map: what to do, how to do it, if they did it right. This interactive approach focuses on:
CONFIDENCE: Research shows that students experience a great deal of anxiety over studying. That’s why we provide a structured learning environment that helps students focus on what to do, along with the support of immediate resources.
MOTIVATION: To increase and sustain motivation throughout the semester, WileyPLUS helps students learn how to do it at a pace that’s right for them. Our integrated resources—available 24/7—function like a personal tutor, directly addressing each student’s demonstrated needs with specific problem-solving techniques.
SUCCESS: WileyPLUS helps to assure that each study session has a positive outcome by putting students in control. Through instant feedback and study objective reports, students know if they did it right, and where to focus next, so they achieve the strongest results.
With WileyPLUS, our efficacy research shows that students improve their outcomes by as much as one letter grade.
WileyPLUS helps students take more initiative, so you’ll have greater impact on their achievement in the classroom and beyond.

SUPPORT PACKAGE FOR STUDENTS
Student Solutions Manual Written by Adeliza Flores, of Las Positas College, this supplement contains worked-out solutions to all of the odd-numbered text problems.
Laboratory Manual Written by Charles D. Anderson, David Macaulay, Joseph Bauer, and Molly Bloomfield, this lab manual is written for the one- or two-term chemistry lab course for students in the allied health sciences and related fields. These experiments are presented in an integrated table of contents and contain chapter references from General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: An Integrated Approach, Fourth Edition.

Chemistry Case Studies for Allied Health Students Written by Colleen Kelley and Wendy Weeks of Pima Community College, this manual was designed to bring relevance and critical-thinking skills to the allied health chemistry course.
Students are encouraged to become “diagnosticians” and apply their newly acquired chemistry knowledge to solving real-life health and environmental cases. The case manual also encourages a holistic approach by asking students to synthesize information across topics. Case Studies topics include food and forensics, antibiotics, parasites, toothaches, red blood cells, sickle cell anemia, and gallstones, in addition to several other topics that help to illustrate the role of chemistry in our lives.

AT THE CLINIC
Media Bakery
A patient arrives at the oncologist’s office for his scheduled chemotherapy treatment. The waiting room is completely full, so he suspects that they are running behind schedule. After checking in with the receptionist, he settles in for a long wait. He catches up on his email, sends a few texts to friends, and reads an eight-month-old copy of Sports Illustrated from cover to cover before hearing his name called. The nurse leads him from the waiting room, weighs him, takes his temperature, and measures his blood pressure. After preparing his medication, she inserts a needle into a vein in the back of his hand, has another nurse double-check the prescription, and hooks him up to an IV bag. Discovering that all the IV pumps are in use, she decides to set the drip rate manually. After opening the valve and adjusting the flow to 150 milliliters per hour, she makes a note to check for an available pump in 20 minutes, once the patient has received 50 milliliters of IV solution.
