Indicators of morbidity, such as the prevalence of chronic diseases and disabilities, are particularly useful in presenting a picture of populations. However, despite epidemiological research, improvements in health and health-seeking behaviors within the United States and global populations render indicators such as morbidity and mortality ineffective in characterizing the true health status.

Discussion Question 1

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research on acids, bases, and salts that are used in therapeutic processes.

On the basis of your research, respond to the following:

•Define an acid, base, and salt as they apply to chemistry.

•State three examples each of acids, bases, and salts commonly used in therapeutic processes.

•From the examples you state, select one acid, one base, and one salt and describe specifically how and where they are used in therapeutic processes.

Discussion Question 2

Using the Internet, research on buffered aspirin.

On the basis of your research, respond to the following:
