Clamp the tube

- Clamping the tube will increase the pressure on the gastric sutures from a concentration of gas and fluid.
2. Consider this an expected event.

- As a result of the trauma of surgery, some bleeding can be predictable for 4 to 5 hours.
3. Instill the tube with iced normal saline.

- Iced saline rarely is used because it grounds for vasoconstriction, local ischemia, and a decrease in body temperature.
4. Notify the client's surgeon of this finding

- This is not essential; this is an anticipated occurrence.

If 15% of a DNA double helix is the base adenine what are the percentages for the following bases?
Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Thymine 15%

Guanine 30%

Cytosine 30%

Explanation:

Remember Chargaff's rules: C=G, T=A.

A = T

.15 = T

Now we've got .30 A and T, so we know 1 - .3 = .7 of the DNA should be guanine and cytosine.

.7 / 2 = .35

.35 = G

.35 = C
