The instructions which the nurse should include on the list after treating a patient with tuberculosis include the following:

  • Activities should be resumed gradually.
  • A sputum culture is needed every 2 to 4 weeks once medication therapy is initiated.
  • Respiratory isolation is not necessary because family members already have been exposed.
  • Cover the mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing and put used tissues in plastic bags.

<h3>What is Tuberculosis?</h3>

This refers to a disease which is caused by a bacterium called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This bacteria attacks the lungs thereby resulting in symptoms such as coughing, weight loss etc.

After being treated, the patient can resume activities and don't need any  isolation but should ensure that the mouth and nose are covered and disposed properly when coughing.

A sputum culture is needed every 2 to 4 weeks once medication therapy is initiated so as to confirm the absence of the bacteria so as to discontinue drug usage.

Which consideration is a priority when caring for a mother with strong contractions 1 minute apart?
geniusboy [140]

The heart rate of the fetus in relation to the contractions is the priority consideration while caring for a mother who is having strong contractions one minute apart.

There are a number of point which have to be taken care of when a mother is having strong contractions which are 1 minute apart but the priority is always to check the status of the fetus. This is important because the blood flow of the placenta gets interrupted temporarily with every contraction and therefore if the contractions are too strong and too long lasting, the fetus might not able to tolerate them.

The pancreas releases alkaline, enzyme-rich pancreatic juice into the ____________ of the small intestine. What is the function
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is the duodenum.

Explanation:

Pancreatic juice is an alkaline fluid which contains important enzymes for the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.  

Pancreatic juice is secreted by the pancreas when food enters the stomach which is released into the "duodenum" of the small intestine. The pancreatic juice enters duodenum through a pancreatic duct which joins with the bile duct coming from the liver and form "ampulla of Vater" in the duodenum.

Pancreatic juice helps in digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats as it contains pro-enzymes and enzymes like trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, lipase and many more. It also makes the acidic stomach solution alkaline due to the presence of HCO₃.

Thus, the duodenum is the correct answer.
