A 4-year-old child is admitted to the pediatric unit with a tentative diagnosis of acute lymphocytic leukemia (all). the mother

states that changes in her child's behavior and the "black and blue" marks were noticed several days ago. she blames herself for not bringing her child to the clinic sooner. on what information about the pathophysiology of leukemia should the nurse base a response?

In acute leukemia, bone marrow suppression might happen. Then cancer cell can suppress the nearby cell in the bone marrow, causing a decrease in all blood component (pancytopenia). One of the blood components is thrombocyte which has a function in blood coagulation.
The black and blue marks probably a bruise that made from coagulation problem that caused by low in the blood thrombocyte/platelet count. The suppression should already happen when the bruise shows up.

The sequence of ________________ in a DNA molecule determines the protein that will be produced.
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

B) Nucleotides

Explanation:

The nucleotides sequence of DNA molecules determines the protein that will be produced. The mRNA molecules carry a copy of DNA to ribosome.  the nucleotides consist of three parts-  nitrogenous base, pentose sugar and a phospate group.  There have more than six billion nucleotide pairs in a cell.

You have a 16N sack of potatoes that you need to lift onto the kitchen counter. You set up a pulley system with a mechanical adv
natali 33 [55]

A force of 8 N will be required.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Mechanical advantage is defined as the ratio of output force from a system to the input force into the system. A machine which has the mechanical advantage more than 1 means it requires less force to give more force as output. Similarly, when the mechanical advantage for the machine is less than 1,it means more force is required to give to achieve a less one.

Here in the question, the mechanical advantage of the pulley is 2.

Output force required to pull the sack of potatoes upto kitchen is 16N.

Mechanical advantage = Output force / input force.

Or, 2= 16 / input force.

So input force = 16 / 2  =8.

So a force of 8 N will be required to pull the pulley.

Nostrana [21]

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

A. Gram-negative bacilli cannot cause harm to the cell; only Gram-positive bacilli can harm the cell.

B. Gram-negative bacilli release endotoxins that cause cell injury and increased capillary permeability.

C. Gram-negative bacilli excrete elaborate exotoxins that interfere with cellular production of ATP.

D. Gram-negative bacilli enter the cell and disrupt its ability to replicate.

Answer:

B. Gram-negative bacilli release endotoxins that cause cell injury and increased capillary permeability.

Explanation:

Gram-negative bacteria are pathogenic in nature due to the composition of their cell wall. Their cell wall contains an additional layer of a molecule called lipopolysaccharides or LPS.

The LPS layer is toxic in nature and is known as endotoxin and is involved in the pathogenicity of the bacteria as the toxin causes the injury to the Endothelial cell membrane of the host cell.  

When the bacteria cell is lysed and the LPS circulates in the blood, then LPS binds the receptors and acts on CD14. This attracts the neutrophils at the site and can cause vascular injury due to increased capillary permeability.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
