Answer:

To begin, in direct relation to plasma membranes, we have the fluid mosaic model, explanation for various observations related to the structure of cell membranes. In this model, there is a lipid bilayer where protein molecules are fixed. The lipid bilayer allows the membrane to achieve elasticity. This model of the cell membrane is how scientists view the functions and parts of the cell membrane. The fluid mosaic model can also serve as an explanation for the phospholipids, cholesterol, proteins, and carbohydrates that make up the membrane. Before delving into the fluid mosaic model, one must first fully understand plasma membranes and the role that they play. The plasma membrane is the membrane in all cells that protects it from the outside environment. The plasma membrane controls materials that come and go from the cell.  The membrane is mainly formed of amphiphilic or dual-loving, phospholipid molecules. The hydrophilic part of these molecules is in constant contact with the fluid inside of and surrounding the cell. The phospholipid molecule is made of a three-carbon glycerol base with two fatty acid molecules attached to two of the carbons, and a phosphate-containing group attached to the third one. This arrangement results in a polar charge. The membrane surfaces that face the inside and outside of the cell are hydrophilic. In opposition, the middle of the cell membrane is hydrophobic. Therefore, phospholipids form an effective lipid bilayer cell membrane that divides fluid within the cell from the liquid outside of the cell. In conclusion, fluid mosaic is used by scientists to view the parts of the cell membrane, which has a lot of components that render it non-permeable. (phospholipids, integral protein, peripheral protein, cholesterol, glycoproteins/lipids.)

Which statement is the most accurate outcome criteria for the nurse to use when determining if a patient is responding appropria
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The statement that will show the best accurate criteria is patient's respiratory rate is 16 breaths/minute and blood pressure is 130/72 mm Hg.

Explanation:

Adrenergic drugs are drugs that cause the stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, which is also known as adrenergic nervous system by performing or mimicking the activities of the epinephrine and norepinephrine, or interfering with their release.

It should be noted that, epinephrine and norepinephrine are also known as adrenaline and noradrenaline, this is because they are secreted by the adrenal gland, and this gives rise to the term adrenergic.

Examples of adrenergic drugs are phenylephrine, clonidine and oxymetazolin among others.
