The type of pneumonia the nurse can suspect is mycoplasma pneumonia.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae bacteria are commonly responsible for minor respiratory infections (the parts of the body involved in breathing). Tracheobronchitis is the most common illness caused by these bacteria, particularly in children (chest cold). M. pneumoniae lung infections are sometimes referred to as "walking pneumonia."

Mycoplasma is spread through contact with droplets from infected people's noses and throats, particularly when they cough and sneeze. It is believed that transmission requires prolonged close contact with an infected person. Slowly, the virus spreads through families, schools, and institutions.

How would a mutation affect how DNA is eventually read when it forms a protein
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Mutated DNA affects proteins during translation which can cause different proteins to be created

Explanation:

The process of protein-synthesis is when mRNA is translated into different proteins, which takes place in the ribosome.  Mutated DNA can cause something known as a "frameshift mutation" where the codons are either inserted, duplicated, and or deleted. The mutation in the mRNA will cause the codons to be misarrageded effectively causing a different protein to be created! We know this through our codon chart, which can be searched for online.

I recommend looking more into Protein Synthesis if you have further questions, I hope this answer helped!

Explain how and why drinking water affects:<br> (A) Blood plasma<br> (B) Blood plasma osmolarity
Oxana [17]

Answer:

(A) - The volume of the blood plasma increases on overhydration and decreaes on dehydration.

(B) - Osmolality of blood increases with the dehydration and decreases with the overhydration.

Explanation:

If the levels of drinking water is increased, then the plasma becomes more dilute and the plasma volume increases because <u>the water will be reabsorbed more and which as a result reduces plasma concentration of the solutes and increases volume of plasma.</u>

Plasma osmolality measures electrolyte-water balance of the body. <u>As mentioned, above on overhydration, the plasma concentration of the solutes decraeses which also decreases osmolality. So, Osmolality of blood increases with the dehydration and decreases with the overhydration. </u>Increased osmolality in blood stimulate the secretion of antidiuretic hormone which results in the increased water reabsorption and therefore, more concentrated urine and hence blood plasma with less concentration.
