Medicine
1 answer:
timofeeve [1]2 years ago
8 0

The nurse should inject ophthalmic drugs into the lower conjunctival sac of a 6 year old child. The areas where eyedrops are injected are the sclera, upper conjunctival sac, or outer canthus.

The structures surrounding the eyes and acute or chronic eye disorders are treated using eye drops and ointments. As they are supplied directly to their site of action and are consequently more effective than drugs taken orally, they constitute the cornerstone of treatment for eye illness.

Topical eye treatment must be given the same priority as medications that are taken systemically in order for patients to get the most therapeutic benefit.

In order to properly administer topical medications, nurses, patients, and caregivers must have a solid awareness of their therapeutic effects and any potential side effects.

Applying eye drops and ointment is advised:

  • At the right moment
  • with the right force
  • over the right path
  • to the right person
  • into the right eye

At rest, most of the body's blood supply resides in the pulmonary loop.<br> a. True<br> b. False
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The answer to the statement: At rest, most of the body´s blood supply resides in the pulmonary loop, would be, B: False.

Explanation:

The circulatory system never stops working. Pumping of blood, transportation of oxygen, nutrients and water to and from tissues is a process that does not end, even during sleep. The only moment when this process does not happen, is in death. However, a good question is, where does the blood go, or stay, when the body is not active, like for example, during sleep. And the answer is that most of it will rest on the systemic veins and venules and will slowly circulate back to the heart, but at a much lower rate than when the body activates itself. However, what is not true is that blood will reside mostly in the pulmonary loop, because this loop does not have the capacity to store that much blood.

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The heart is covered in double membranous sac called pleural membrane, this statement is incorrect.

Explanation:

The heart is covered by a double walled sac called pericardium.The pericardium fixes the heart to the mediastinum and encloses the heart and the root of great vessels. It has two layers serous membrane and fibrous membrane. The fibrous membrane is the most superficial layer of the pericardium. It is made up of dense and loose connective tissue. The serous membrane is divided into two layers, the parietal layer, which is fused to and inseparable from the fibrous membrane, and the visceral layer, which is part of the epicardium.

Between these two membranes is the pericardial fluid, which is filled with serous fluid which protects the heart from any kind of external shock.
