The correct answer for this question is

Maintain blood volume

Lactated Ringer solution and 5% dextrose in saline are not plasma expanders, as is albumin.

In water, sodium chloride, sodium lactate, potassium chloride, and calcium chloride are combined to form Ringer's lactate solution (RL), also known as sodium lactate solution, Lactated Ringer's, and Hartmann's solution.  People with low blood volume or low blood pressure use it to replace fluids and electrolytes.  It can also be used to wash the eye after a chemical burn and to treat metabolic acidosis.  It is infused intravenously or administered topically to the afflicted area.

the nurse is providing preoperative teaching for the patient who is to undergo a total laryngectomy. which nursing intervention
Citrus2011 [14]

Most important nursing intervention after laryngectomy is that after surgery, your voice may return to normal but you will sound hoarse.

Since the false cords are removed during a supraglottic partial laryngectomy, patients may recover from surgery with a normal or raspy voice. A total laryngectomy patient won't have a natural voice. A laryngo-fissure patient will have a normal voice. A hemilaryngectomy patient will have hoarse voice. Thus, the patient after a total laryngectomy will have a hoarse voice.

The larynx can be removed in whole or in part through a laryngectomy (voice box). It entails making an incision (cut) over the Adam's apple region on the outside of the neck. Partial laryngectomy: In order to treat some laryngeal malignancies, only a portion of the voice box needs to be removed.

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. thymus.

Explanation:

Lymph nodules are small groups of lymphoid tissue present in the loose under the wet epithelial membranes such as the digestive system, urinary bladder, and respiratory system.

The thymus does not contain lymph nodules like other lymphatic organs such as spleen, tonsils and lymph node. However, small lymphocytes known as thymocytes are grouped together in the cortex and epithelial reticular cells can appear like nodules in the medulla.

Thus, the correct answer is option C. thymus.
