The question is incomplete as it does not have the option which are:

-acid-fast

-DAPI

-lipo

-Gram

Answer:

Acid-fast  staining

Explanation:

Acid-fast staining is the technique used to stain and identify the species of the mycobacterium.

During the acid-fast staining, the carbolfuchsin stain is used to color the bacteria as carbolfuchsin solubilizes the lipid of the bacterial wall and the pink stain enters the cell. When these cells are treated with the methylene blue counterstain, the mycobacterium due to the presence of thick cell wall does not allow the entry of the methylene blue as a result of which they appear red o pink.

Thus, acid-fast staining is correct.

Your patient has recently completed her first round of chemotherapy in the treatment of lung cancer. when reviewing this morning
dimaraw [331]

When there is myelosuppression, the suggestive finding is there is a decrease in the platelets and red blood cells. Also called the bone marrow suppression, myelosuppression is a common side effect of the treatment of chemotherapy. When this side effect happens, there is a decrease in the production of blood cells. The result which may be the effect of myelosuppression is a decrease in one, two or all three types of blood cells. Most patients of chemotherapy experience a decrease in red blood cells. Another effect is the decrease of white blood cells by most patients. Myelosuppression will be subcategorized as neutropenia when chemotherapy results to the reduction of neutrophils which is a specific type of white blood cells. Thrombocytopenia is the term for a drop in platelet numbers. This kind of suppression is not that common.  Only 10 percent of cancer patients undergo the negative effects of this kind of suppression.

Suppose a star is undergoing a nuclear reaction. What happens to the elements around the star as it begins to emit more and more
kompoz [17]
The composition of a star is abundant in hydrogen and helium, both of which are two of the lightest elements. Because they are very light, they are usually unstable. To becomes stable, hydrogen atoms spontaneously combine with each other through a radiation process called nuclear fusion, to yield helium atoms. This process requires very high energy in the form of heat. Therefore, these lighter elements are burned in order to keep the star alive with energy.

Therefore, the answer is D.
