Lactulose is used as a laxative to treat constipation. In the colon, lactulose is broken down by bacteria into products that help to draw water into the colon, which softens the stool.
If you work full-time, then you are entitled to all the benefits offered to employees by your employer for full-time workers. The definition of full-time, however, varies -- some companies may consider 37.5 to 40 hours as full-time with anything less categorized as part-time. In the state of Texas, however, a full-time worker is anyone who works at least 30 hours per week, according to the Texas Department of Insurance.
In regards to part-time employees the employer decides what is full-time and what is part-time work, however the FLSA (Fair Labor Standards Act) says that employees who work more than 40 hours must be paid overtime. Most professions (including nursing) generally consider 30 â 40 of work per week full-time status.
