Sasha is a medical assistant at a pain clinic. One of her patients tells her, “The doctor says that, in a week or two, my joint

pain should begin to resolve, and I should reach homeostasis. What does all that mean?” Which of the following would be the BEST response from Sasha?
A. “She means that the trouble with your joints may affect your kidneys, so you may have trouble maintaining your body’s water balance. Did she ask you to write down how often you use the bathroom each day?”

B. “That’s great news! It means you’ll never have joint pain again. Once the body reaches homeostasis, there’s nothing that can disrupt it.”

C. “That’s great news! As your joint pain lessens, it will be easier for your body to reach a state of homeostasis. That means your body systems will be in balance and running smoothly.”

D. “The doctor is saying that your joint pain means you may have trouble regulating your body temperature. Did she ask you to take your own temperature every day?”

Answer:

I'm assuming the joint pain was related to a homeostatic imbalance. I believe the answer is C.

Explanation:

A is wrong but not false. Your kidneys (and other organs) can be affected, but the patient said that the doctor told them their pain will start to go away and they'll reach homeostasis. They didn't mention a problem with getting there.

Option B is patently false.

Option D is a little silly. Same sort of reasons with A.

During cardiac arrest, what happens to a person?
almond37 [142]

romanna [79]
Positioning. Multiple positions may be used to accomplish a digital rectal examination. The easiest for the examiner is to have the patient tuck the knees up to the chest, either in the dorsal lithotomy position or the lateral recumbent position.

A nurse is teaching about a new prescription for infliximab to a client who has rheumatoid arthritis. Which of the following inf
Phoenix [80]

Answer: Opcion A. "You will receive a Mantoux test before the initial medication dose"

Explanation: The INFLIXIMAB is one of the medications used for treating Rheumatoid arthritis, among other inflammatory diseases as psoriasic arthritis,  ankylosing spondylitis, Crohn's disease. It is used when the regular treatment has not worked. It helps to reduce pain and joint inflammation.

The mechanism of action of the INFLIXIMAB is to reduce a substance called TNFα (Tumor Necrosis Factor α) responsible for the inflammatory response that helps the body against an antigen. Because this medication reduces this body defense, it is important for the health providers to know in advance if there is a condition or disease in the immune system, cancer, or something that <em>per se</em>, could predispose to infections.

The Mantoux test is a tuberculin skin test that is used to know if a person has an infection with <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis, </em>the bacteria responsible of causing Tuberculosis. In the test, a tuberculin protein called PPD is used to be injected into the skin, specifically in the forearm. If the person is infected with the bacteria, it is expected that between 48 and 72 hours, the health professional would see an induration in the site of injection.

If someone has a positive tuberculin test, then it would not be possible to administer INFLIXIMAB.

Opcion B. Incorrect. There is no description of diarrhea as an adverse event for using this medication. The adverse effects could be headache, stomach ache, cough or skin allergy. Also, for the suppression of part of the immune system, it is recommended to be aware of symptoms of infection as fever, sweats, muscle pain.

Opcion C. Incorrect. The usual dose of INFLIXIMAB in the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis for adults is, an inicial dose, then a second dose 2 weeks later; then, a third dose 4 weeks later, and finally one dose every 8 weeks.

Opcion D. Incorrect. The intranasal influenza vaccine is a "live attenuated" vaccine. If it is administered in a person using INFLIXIMAB, he/she could develop a severe infection by <em>Influenza</em>.
