<span>Blanching works by denaturing the enzymes, rendering them inactive. Enzymes are proteins produced by the cells to perform various biological functions. Their effectiveness is critically dependent upon their shape. They act as catalysis to speed up chemical reactions. When you heat a protein, you cause the hydrogen bonds created when the protein is folded to break, changing the shape of the protein. And since enzymes are proteins, their shape and therefore their effectiveness also changes. So by blanching, you destroy the effectiveness of the enzymes that would cause the food to deteriorate.</span>

Answer:

0.5

Explanation:

The nurse must ensure that the FIO2 must not be greater than 0.5. This is because if the FIO2 is even slightly greater than than for as little as 16 to 24 hours, it can get really toxic and then diffusion of gas and surfactant activity will be reduced drastically. In ideal circumstances, the oxygen source is expected to be room air and within a range of FIO2 0.18 - 0.21.
