The nurse will perform pulse oximetry to monitor the effectiveness of the oxygen therapy ordered for the client.

<h3>What is pulse oximetry?</h3>

The oxygen saturation level of your blood can be measured with a non-invasive procedure called pulse oximetry.

It can quickly identify even minute variations in oxygen levels. These levels demonstrate how well blood transports oxygen to your arms and legs, which are the extremities that are farthest from your heart. It looks like a little clip and is called a pulse oximeter. It fastens to a body component, usually a finger.

Pulse oximetry is helpful for postoperative patients, monitoring individuals at risk for hypoxia, titrating oxygen therapy, and monitoring patients receiving oxygen therapy.

Lostsunrise [7]

\huge\bold\pink{ANSWER}

===========================================

<u>Solution - Answer (a): The current maximum output would depend on slowest operations and that is B. Optometrist conducting eye exam (25min per patient) Hence total time available for task(B)= 10 hours * 60 min - (2 minute for first patient to greet + frame selection 20 min + glasses made 60 min + final fitting 5 min) = 600 -87 = 513 minutes. Hence, maximum capacity = 513/25 = 20.52 ~ 20 patients Answer (b): Since, the slowest process is B. Optometrist conducting eye test, if a person were to be added it must be there. The added capacity at no other place would increase total capacity of the patients processed in a day. Answer (c): In the mentioned model, the process of D and E, totaling to 65 minutes would be eliminated. And hence, in day...</u>

Aminiotic fluid formation and clearance ? ​
stich3 [128]

Introduction :-)

The <em>amniotic fluid</em> is the protective liquid contained by the <em>amniotic sac</em> of a <em>gravid amniote</em>. This <em>fluid</em> serves as a cushion for the growing <em>fetus</em>, but also serves to facilitate the exchange of nutrients, water, and biochemical products between <em>mother</em> and <em>fetus</em>.

Importance :-)

  1. <em>It helps to protect the fetus from trauma to the maternal abdomen.</em>
  2. <em>It cushions the umbilical cord from compression between the fetus and uterus.</em>
  3. <em>It has antibacterial properties that provide some protection from infection.</em>
  4. <em>It serves as a reservoir of fluid and nutrients for the fetus.</em>

<em></em>

Formation :-)

<em>Amniotic fluid </em>is present from the formation of the <em>gestational sac.</em> <em>Amniotic fluid </em>is in the <em>amniotic sac.</em> It is generated from <em>maternal plasma</em>, and passes through the <em>fetal membranes</em> by <em>osmotic</em> and <em>hydrostatic forces</em>. When <em>fetal kidneys</em> begin to function around week 16, <em>fetal urine</em> also contributes to the <em>fluid.</em> In earlier times, it was believed that the <em>amniotic fluid</em> was composed entirely of <em>fetal urine</em>.

The <em>fluid</em> is absorbed through the <em>fetal tissue</em> and <em>skin</em>. After <em>22 to 25 week </em>of<em> pregnancy</em>, <em>fraternization</em> of an <em>embryo's skin</em> occurs. When this process completes around the <em>25th week</em>, the<em> fluid</em> is primarily absorbed by the <em>fetal gut</em> for the remainder of <em>gestation</em>.

<em>Contents :-)</em>

At first, <em>amniotic fluid</em> is mainly water with <em>electrolytes</em>, but by about the <em>12-14th week</em> the <em>liquid</em> also contains <em>proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and phospholipids, and urea</em>, all of which <em>aid</em> in the growth of the <em>fetus</em>.

Hope its helpful :-)

If so, please mark me as brainlist :-)
