The nurse interprets this statement as nihilistic type of delusion. The correct option is B.

<h3>What is nihilistic type of delusion?</h3>

Nihilism is the belief that all values are without foundation and that nothing can be known or communicated.

It is frequently associated with extreme pessimism and a radical skepticism of existence.

The most common type of delusional disorder is persecutory delusional disorder, which occurs when a person believes others are out to harm them despite evidence to the contrary.

A good way to deal with nihilism is to compare it to the polar opposite possibility.

A situation in which life has perfect meaning, perfect happiness, no sorrow or injustice, and where nature's progress ensures this in every way.

Thus, the correct option is b.

IrinaVladis [17]

<u>As filtrate moves down the loop of henle, the surrounding interstitial </u><u>fluid </u><u>becomes </u><u>more </u><u>concentrated than the filtrate, so  </u><u>water</u><u> leaves the filtrate.</u>

What is the movement of substances from the blood into the proximal tubule?

  • In the urine of experimental rodents and humans (eating a Western-style diet), urea is the most prevalent solute.
  • In comparison to plasma and extracellular fluids, it is significantly more concentrated in urine.

Which part of the tubule is permeable to water only under the influence of ADH?

  • ADH operates on the distal tubules and collecting ducts, increasing their water permeability to counterbalance that shift.
  • Reabsorbing water as a result lowers blood osmolarity, concentrates urine, and decreases urine volume.

What does white cells in urine mean?

  • If your doctor performs a urine test and discovers an excessive number of leukocytes, this may indicate an infection.
  • White blood cells called leukocytes assist your body in battling pathogens.
  • It's frequently a symptom of a problem somewhere in your urinary tract when you have more of them than usual in your urine.

Pernicious anemia produces red blood cells that are ________
Ostrovityanka [42]

Pernicious anemia produces red blood cells that are <u>large</u> and<u> vitamin B12</u> deficiency contributes to pernicious anemia.

Explanation:

When there is a lack of intrinsic factor, secreted in the parietal cells of the gastric mucosa or the stomach lining, vitamin B12 absorption from the stomach is affected.

Vitamin B12 is one of the key factors responsible for normal synthesis and maturation of fully functional red blood cells (RBCs).

The main function of the RBCs is to carry oxygen through hemoglobin to all parts of the body. In order to transport oxygen, the RBCs must be mature with normal shape (concave center and circular shape) and size.

When there is a lack of vitamin B12, the RBCs are not matured and immature, megaloblastic, large, irregularly-shaped red blood cells are formed and circulate in the blood. This also leads to macrocytosis of RBCs.

These cannot function as normal mature blood cells because of the irregular shape and cannot carry hemoglobin to transport oxygen.
