What nursing diagnosis is most likely to apply to a patient who has a dysfunction of the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland?

Serjik [45]2 years ago

Deficient Fluid Volume is the nursing diagnosis that is most likely to apply to a patient who has a dysfunction of the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland.

The posterior pituitary produces ADH; disruptions in the levels of ADH upset the body's normal fluid balance. The hormones produced by the posterior pituitary do not directly affect immune function, tissue perfusion, or body temp.

Deficient fluid volume, or hypovolemia, results from a loss of body fluid or fluid shift, causing the fluid output to surpass fluid intake. In this process (acute or chronic), the body loses fluid volume and electrolytes. The source for this condition can be gastrointestinal, renal, or even metabolic.

Symptoms:

  • Expresses feeling thirsty
  • Verbalizes feelings of weakness
  • States feeling dizzy/lightheaded, especially when changing position
  • Complains about an inability to focus
  • Complains of headaches
  • Describes feeling of fast heartbeat

How do scientists use the kinetic theory of matter?
Keith_Richards [23]

The energy of moving matter is called kinetic energy. Scientists think that the particles of all matter are in constant motion. In other words, the particles of matter have kinetic energy. The theory that all matter consists of constantly moving particles is called the kinetic theory of matter. 

  • If particles do not have enough kinetic energy to overcome the force of attraction between them, matter exists as a solid.
  • If particles have enough kinetic energy to partly overcome the force of attraction between them, matter exists as a liquid.
  • If particles have enough kinetic energy to completely overcome the force of attraction between them, matter exists as a gas.

Conteste los siguientes enunciados, registrando (F) si es falso y (V) si es verdadero. 1. ( ) Una mujer portadora de hemofilia,
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

1. Verdadero

2. Falso

3. Falso  

4. Falso

5. Verdadero

Explanation:

Los seres humanos, como así también la mayoría de los mamíferos, poseen dos cromosomas sexuales: un cromosoma X y un cromosoma Y. Las hembras poseen 2 cromosomas X (un cromosoma X es heredado de la madre y el otro cromosoma X es heredado del padre); mientras que los hombres tienen un cromosoma X y un cromosoma Y (el cromosoma X es heredado de la madre, mientras que el cromosoma Y es heredado del padre). La hemofilia es una enfermedad recesiva monogénica ligada al cromosoma X, la cual está caracterizada por cuadros hemorrágicos causados por el déficit parcial y/o total de factores de coagulación. Los hombres expresan el fenotipo recesivo con mayor frecuencia que las mujeres para aquellos genes que se encuentran en el cromosoma X y poseen un mecanismo de herencia recesivo, esto debido a que los hombres sólo poseen una copia del alelo ligado al X (lo que hace que el alelo recesivo se exprese con mayor frecuencia en el fenotipo). De este modo, los hombres manifiestan hemofilia con mayor frecuencia que las mujeres porque en mujeres el gen recesivo necesita la presencia de dos copias del alelo defectuoso recesivo para que se exprese en el fenotipo hemofílico (es decir, las mujeres heterocigotas son portadoras de un alelo defectuoso pero no expresan la condición en el fenotipo), mientras que en los hombres la presencia de un sólo alelo defectuoso localizado en su único cromosoma X es suficiente para la expresión del fenotipo recesivo. En hombres, los genes ligados al cromosoma X son siempre heredados de la madre (los hombres heredan del padre el cromosoma Y). Finalmente, la herencia de caracteres ligados al cromosoma Y es muy rara porque los genes localizados en la región diferencial del cromosoma Y son escasos y estos genes solamente pueden ser trasmitidos de padres a hijos varones (ya que se encuentran en el cromosoma Y).
