Taking a measure of someones blood glucose level before they eat in the morning is a measure of fasting blood glucose. A normal measure of fasting blood glucose is 3.8 to 5.5 mmol. If the value were higher, say 5.8 mmol then the patient would be described as being pre-diabetic. Since the value is the highest in the range of being normal she should be monitored for pre- diabetes.

Answer;

Normal blood glucose.

The nurse would interpret this blood glucose as normal.

Explanation;

-Normal blood glucose is 80 to 110 mg/dL (4 to 7 mmol/L). For the many healthy individuals, normal blood sugar levels are as follows: Between 4.0 to 5.4 mmol/L (72 to 99 mg/dL) when fasting. Up to 7.8 mmol/L (140 mg/dL) 2 hours after eating.

The hormone levels during the menstrual cycle are shown below.what would happen if the hormone levels did not have their peak ju
Vesna [10]

During week 2 of the menstrual cycle (day 8 to day 14 or ovulation), estrogen levels rise until it reaches its peak. Typically, days 12-14 have the highest levels of estrogen, which causes an increase in Luteinizing Hormone, which is responsible for the release of the egg cell. If hormone levels fail to reach its peak before day 14, ovulation is not possible because the egg cannot be released. Pregnancy may be highly unlikely.

If there are 32 sister chromatids in a normal somatic cell, what is the haploid number for that cell?
malfutka [58]

Answer:

The answer is 16.

Explanation:

Somatic cells include all the cells in the body except for the reproductive cells. Haploid cells are used to represent the reproductive cells which have half the chromosome as the somatic cells. So if there are 32 sister chromatids in a somatic cell, which means there are 16 chromosomes, then the haploid number for it is 16 chromatids. I hope this answer helps.
