Answer:

Cindys physician is interested in her white blood cell count more particularly her T cells as they are known as killer cells as well as memory cells. These killer cells active in search of host cells aka "viruses". If the T cell has no memory of the host it will not be fought off as quickly. However since viruses are always adapting it is a constant battle. Furthermore since HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus, it is important to known whether she has a high or low count. Considering she has HIV it can be projected her count to be below average which is 4,000 and 11,000 per microliter of blood. Below 4,000 can lead to low immunity, which in turn means a higher risk of catching viruses such as colds or in this case HIV.

jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

<u>Flow rate = 16.67 gtts/min rounded to 17 gtts/min</u>

Explanation:

In order to calculate the flow rate, the following formula will be used.

Flow rate (gtts/min) = \frac{Volume (mL)}{Time (minutes)} Drop factor (gtts/mL)

50 mL of fluid in which Ciprofloxacin is dissolved is taken as volume.

<u>KNOWN DATA:</u>

Volume = 50mL

Time = 45 minutes

Drop factor = 15 gtts/mL

Flow rate = unknown

<u>CALCULATION:</u>

Plugging the known values in the formula,

Flow rate (gtts/min) = \frac{Volume (mL)}{Time (minutes)} Drop factor (gtts/mL)

Flow rate = \frac{50}{45} x 15

<u>Flow rate = 16.67 gtts/min.</u>

Sympathetic division stimulation causes ________. Sympathetic division stimulation causes ________. decreased blood glucose, inc
Burka [1]

Answer:

The answer is- Increased blood glucose, decreased GI peristalsis, and increased heart rate and blood pressure

Explanation:

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is a branch of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). Sympathetic Division of the ANS responds to threats- to fight or to run away. The stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system causes vasoconstriction of most blood vessels, including those of the digestive tract, skin and the kidneys.

It does the following;

  1. Increases the rate and strength of contraction of the heart
  2. Dilates the bronchioles of the lungs
  3. Decreases movement in the stomach and intestines (decreasing GI peristalsis)
  4. Increases the breakdown of glycogen and release of glucose from the liver thereby increasing blood glucose
  5. It dilates the pupil
  6. increases sweat secretion from the sweat glands
  7. constricts blood vessels of the skin
  8. Dilates blood vessel of the skeletal muscle
  9. Constricts blood vessels of internal organs except the heart and the lungs.
  10. Relaxes the muscle wall of the urinary bladder
  11. Stimulates hormone (epinephrine and norepinephrine) secretion from the adrenal medulla

NOTE: GI is Gastrointestinal tract
