The blood component that will need to be replaced is Platelets.

DIC stands for disseminated intravascular coagulation, it is a disease in which the proteins in the blood that regulate clotting becomes hyperactive. It leads to clot formation in the blood vessels which may clog them to prevent flow into the body parts and cause serious damage.

When the platelets are consumed in the formation of clots their shortage may cause an unstoppable bleeding from even a small cut. You may bleed spontaneously even without an injury. Its main cause may be due to an inflammation, injury, or due to prior illness.

The nurse suspects that an older adult client has a basal cell carcinoma. what finding did the nurse use to make this clinical d
777dan777 [17]

The nurse suspects that an older adult patient has features of basal cell carcinoma appearing in form of a small dome-shaped lesion with a pearly surface on the face.

What is Basal cell carcinoma?

The most prevalent type of skin cancer that is not melanoma is basal cell carcinoma (BCC).

  • It is a tumour that causes localized damage and has a variety of clinical and histological characteristics.
  • When viewed at low power magnification, a basaloid epithelial tumour emerging from the epidermis is the primary characteristic of basal cell carcinoma.
  • Normally, the palisade-like basaloid epithelium forms a fissure from the surrounding tumour stroma.

The nuclei grow congested in the centre, with scattered mitotic figures and visible necrotic bodies.

The presence of a mucinous stroma serves as a helpful distinguishing factor from other basaloid cutaneous tumours. Additionally, some tumours may exhibit foci of regression, which are regions of eosinophilic stroma devoid of basaloid nests.

Hence, the answer is a small dome-shaped lesion with a pearly surface on the face.

after administering a loop diuretic, a nurse monitors the client for increased urine output. what principle explains the seconda
Levart [38]

The correct answer for this question is Osmosis.

Osmotic diuresis is an increase in urine production brought on by the presence of specific chemicals in the tiny kidney tubes. When chemicals like glucose enter the kidney tubules and cannot be reabsorbed, excretion takes place (due to a pathological state or the normal nature of the substance). The compounds raise the osmotic pressure inside the tubule, which causes water to be retained in the lumen and inhibits water absorption, boosting urine production (i.e., diuresis). Therapeutics like mannitol, which is used to improve urine output and decrease extracellular fluid volume, have the similar effect.

By making the blood more osmolar, substances in the circulation can also increase the volume of fluid flowing through the body.
