Questions & Verified Answers | Latest Update | Graded A+
1. A patient presented 2 days ago with severe burns and currently has a
temperature of 38.2°C and a BP of 130/88. The nurse's main concern is:
The patient has a perfusion problem
The patient has a fever
The patient is at risk for dehydration
The patient may be developing an infection
2. The Na+/K+ pump fails in hypoxia because
it requires ATP to function and ATP production is decreased in
hypoxia
the developing alkalosis in the cell causes a shutdown of the pump
it requires Ca++ to function and Ca++ is sequestered within the
mitochondria
the developing acidosis outside the cell causes a shift in Na+ and K+
3. What is the effect of oxidative stress on DNA?
It repairs DNA.
It can cause changes and damages to DNA.
It has no effect on DNA.
It only affects RNA.
,4. A patient has had uncontrolled chronic heartburn, and an esophageal biopsy
