The nurse should first select an area to perform the hyphodermoclysis, outside of the elbow is usual but the back of the hand is fine too. Then the nurse must apply a tourniquet 10 cm before the selected area, so it blocks blood circulation. After feeling the vein stand out in the selected area, said area must be cleaned with an antiseptic solution. Then the nurse should introduce the needle connected to the catheter in the outstanding vein, following along the anatomy of the patient against the normal bloodstream direction, so the needle stays almost parallel to the vein while inserted. Finally the nurse must fix the needle to the arm using medical adhesive, and remove the tourniquet.

explain why it is important to keep the levels of nucleotides relatively balanced in the context of dna and rna synthesis
juin [17]

Answer:

Read Below

Explanation:

Nucleotides are A & T and G&C you see in DNA and in RNA T is Replaced by U. The reason they must be balanced between G&C and T&A is because G has to bond with A in DNA and G with C so if there is more G than C that means there is mismatches between the DNA nucleotides same thing for A and T. In RNA you follow the same rule. If we have lets say 27% of our DNA as A we have to have 27% as T leaving 23% as C and 23% as G. If there was lets say 29% T while one 27% A then there was a error in DNA replication and could lead to errors in RNA synthesis if not corrected
