1. "I can't believe this is happening right after my stomach surgery."

Explanation:

When blood flow is blocked due to formation of clots or other factors, the brain does not receive enough blood due to which there is obstruction in the flow of energy. This causes Ischemic Stroke in patients and must be treated immediately.

Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) dissolves blood clots and restores perfusion in clients with ischemic stroke.

It must be administered within a 3-4.5 hour window from appearance of symptoms for effective healing.

The nurse assesses for contraindications to tPA due to the risk of hemorrhage.

No history of intracranial hemorrhage or active bleeding should be present in the case of this patient.

Urgent!!!!! How can a mutation benefit an organism and its descendants? Provide an example.
Mashcka [7]
A mutation can allow a organism to adapt to the environment and example can be the case of the peppered moth which has two variations a white colored one and a black colored one. The white colored ones were able to survive better that the darker ones because of how they were able to camouflage with the lichen located in the trees. However, after a while smoke particles that were released by industries darkened the trunk of the trees making the white moths visible and allowing the darker colored ones to survive. Another example can be on how organism can be resistant to bacteria this allows the animal to survive and reproduce offspring with the same mutation. I hope this helps...
