The nurse should explain that during surgery, an antibiotic prophylaxis is administered to prevent the incidence of surgical site infection. The use of antibiotic before the procedure is just one of many actions taken to help reduce the rate of wound infections. Furthermore, the initial dose must be given most likely within 30 minutes before incision. Then, the next dose is at one to two half-lives of the antibiotic, which is recommended for the duration of the surgery. Thus, appropriate timing of dose is essential to the effectiveness of the antibiotic.

2 facts and 1 fib about Kingdom Animalia
GrogVix [38]

Explanation:

Cell Structure

Creatures in kingdom Animalia are all multicellular organisms with eukaryotic cells that have nuclei and organelles. Unlike plants and fungi, animal cells do not have a cell wall. In addition, with the exception of sponges, cells are divided into specialized tissues or organs.

Movement

All Animalia members are mobile at some point in their lives. Motion is achieved through the musculoskeletal system and is one of the factors that allow animals to live in diverse ecosystems including oceans, mountains and deserts. Movement is achieved in various ways including legs, fins and wings.

Food and Respiration

All members of kingdom Animalia are "heterotrophs." They obtain nourishment from other organisms and digest the food internally. In addition, animals utilize aerobic respiration for cellular energy and food breakdown on a molecular level. Oxygen works at a molecular level to complete the metabolic processes necessary to turn fat and sugar into energy for the cells.
