The patient will remain free of odorous or purulent drainage from the wound. - Answer-d. The patient will remain free of odorous or purulent drainage from the wound. Because the patient has an open wound and the skin is no longer intact to protect the tissue, the patient is at increased risk for infection. The nurse will be assessing the patient for signs and symptoms of infection, including an increase in temperature, an increase in white count, and odorous and purulent drainage from the wou...

A patient has been taking the monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) phenelzine (Nardil) for 6 months. The patient wants to go to a party and asks the nurse, "Will just one beer be a problem?" Which advice from the nurse is correct? a. "You can drink beer as long as you have a designated driver." b. "Now that you've had the last dose of that medication, there will be no further dietary restrictions." c. "If you begin to experience a throbbing headache, rapid pulse, or nausea, you'll ...

A patient is taking bismuth subsalicylate [Pepto-Bismol] to prevent diarrhea. The nurse performing an assessment notes that the patient's tongue is black. What will the nurse do? Reassure the patient that this is an expected side effect of this drug. Request an order for liver function tests to evaluate for hepatotoxicity. Assess further for signs of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding. Withhold the drug, because this is a sign of bismuth overdose. - Answers-Reassure the patient that this is...

A patient with migraine headaches is changed from an ergot to a prescription for a triptan. The nurse has completed teaching related to the drug. What statement would indicate she has a clear understanding of the new drug? A) My life is over. I can't function not knowing when I'm going to have a headache. B) I will not have to avoid driving because this medication isn't sedating. C) I should not experience as many adverse effects from my new medication. D) I take my medication every hour ...

What happens if there is excess glucose in the absorptive state? - Answer-if there is excess glucose, it is converted to fatty acids and fats. First, the glycolytic pathway is stimulated in the liver to produce Acetyl CoA. In conditions of high insulin, Acetyl CoA will be converted to fatty acids and fat. Insulin essentially tells the body to store

Know why it is advantageous to have hexokinase phosphorylate glucose. - Answer-Hexokinase has a random Bi Bi mechanism where the two substrates and two products can bind and leave in any order. HK phosphorylates 6 carbon sugars, prevents sugars from leaving the cell. This step doesn't always have to be used. For instance, in liver glycogen breakdo

Phosphorylase - Answer--enzyme used in glycogen breakdown -turned on by blood epinephrine -Problem: too slow, because long process -Pi and Ca are associated with muscle contraction -Feedfoward Glut 1 - Answer--Insulin and contraction independent transporter(active at rest) -Present on the cell surface Glut 4 - Answer--Stimulated by both insulin and muscle contractions. -When stimulated, translocated from intracellular places(T-tubules and SR?) to cell surface Feedfoward - Answer-...

What about Fructose? - Answer-Fructose has two entry points in the body. 1) most tissues have Fructose converted into F-6P with HK, but 2) in the liver Fructose becomes F-1P which becomes DHAP and glyceraldehyde with the help of Fuctose 1-Phosphate Aldose NAD+ Stucture - Answer- Three fates of Pyruvate - Answer-Lactate (anaerobic animal), ethanol (anaerobic yeast), acetyl CoA (aerobic conditions). Role of Fermentaion - Answer-Fermentation is responsible for generating ATP in the absence...

True/False: The electron transport chain occurs in the outer mitochondrial membrane. - Answer-False: inner Aerobic respiration of glucose produces a total net gain of ___ ATP molecules. - Answer-TOTAL NET GAIN = About 38 ATP molecules Glycolysis (2 ATP) Citric Acid Cycle (2 ATP) Oxidative Phosphorylation (34 ATP) How is ANAEROBIC respiration different from aerobic respiration? - Answer-Essentially the same process, except oxygen is not present so other electron acceptors are used (nitra...

Step 6 of Glycolysis - Answer-- glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase uses NAD+ and Pi to oxidize and phosphorylate C1 of glyceraldhyde-3-phosphate to 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate - ATP is not used - NAD+ is reduced to NADH - positive deltaG - active site Cys residue is required Step 7 of Glycolysis - Answer-- phosphoglycerate kinase removes a phosphate group from C1 of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate and adds it to ADP to make 3-phosphoglycerate and ATP - negative deltaG - helps pull step 6 forw...
