Difficulty in breathing is the clinical manifestation that should alert the nurse to the fact that the client may be developing a life-threatening response to the drug atenolol.

At greater doses, Atenolol may function more similarly to non-selective beta-blockers, which means that it will affect both your heart and lungs. A potential drug interaction is a further worry. The beta receptors in your lungs and airways are really activated by some drugs.

It might be harder for your medication to operate well, particularly in an emergency, if your atenolol dose is high enough to block these airway receptors. These are the most severe side effects of atenolol, and they include bradycardia, cardiac failure, and pulmonary edoema. It might be wise to discuss this with your pulmonologist.

The complete question is : An older adult client who has type 1 diabetes and chronic bronchitis is prescribed atenolol for the management of angina pectoris. Which clinical manifestation should alert the nurse to the fact that the client may be developing a life-threatening response to the drug?

Both Duchenne muscular dystrophy and color blindness are caused by recessive alleles. DMD, unlike color blindness, nearly always
Ronch [10]

Answer: Although both are X-linked recessive conditions, and therefore more likely in males, with the single X-chromosome. The recessive allele in colour blindness occurs at a higher frequency in the population and is a mild condition. Thus colour blindness does occur to a lesser extent in females because it needs the double recessive condition. DMD is a severe, disabling condition with a limited lifespan, and recessive allele frequency much lower, so the double recessive condition in females is very rare.

Explanation: DMD is an X-linked recessive, “nearly always in males” suggest that it also occurs due to a new mutation or some rare condition e.g. double recessive from an affected father and carrier mother, or inactivation of the normal gene in a heterozygote. It is also found that the defective allele is not completely recessive and that female carriers may exhibit mild to moderate effects.

colour blindness is polygenic, although the genes are all X-linked. It is more common in males than females. Females can carry two recessive alleles and so express the phenotype, but this is uncommon because the frequency of the recessive gene is low.

There are similarities in that both are X-linked recessives, therefore commonly expressed in males, who only have one X chromosome. The gene frequency of the colour blindness recessive is much higher than that of DMD, so the double recessive condition, which affects females, is more likely to be seen with colour blindness. In addition, DMD is a severe condition associated with disability and limited lifespan, which reduces the probability of mating between an affected male and carrier female

How do mutations occur in the genetic code
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Mutations in genetic code occurs when DNA is being duplicated.Any changes in the base pairs leads to mutations by trasition or transversion. Change in amino acid leads to change in sequence and thus, mutation. This si carried on to new generation, if it takes place in germ cells.

Is it possible to find the same gene in two different kinds of organisms but not find the protein that is produced from that gen
Bingel [31]
Yes, quite frankly it is possible to find a same gene if you're in the same class of species, but finding the protein....I believe that's impossible because in every type of gene, you have the same proteins that make you function the same way. Without them you wouldn't be able to function properly.

If I found the same gene in all organisms that I've tested, I would be intrigued because that would be a giant step in evolution. My reason for this answer is because if you have the same gene that would technically mean we all specifically came from the same species of animals.

No, that's not true because other characteristics would eventually help us in many things, studies would help us get our brain much stronger and the intelligence level would be extraordinary.
