The nurse will explain to the client is the catheterization will visualize the disease process in the coronary arteries. A cardiac catheterization delivers information on how well a heart works, recognizes problems and allows for procedures to open blocked arteries.

For example, during cardiac catheterization your doctor may:

<span> Gather up samples of blood to measure the oxygen content in the four chambers of your heart.

<span>Take X-rays using contrast dye injected over the catheter to look for narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. This is known as coronary arteriography or coronary angiography.
</span>
Assess the ability of the pumping chambers to contract.

Look for deficiencies in the valves or chambers of your heart.

Execute a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) such as coronary angioplasty with stenting to open up narrowed or blocked segments of a coronary artery.

Check the compression in the four chambers of your heart.
Remove a small piece of heart tissue to examine under a microscope (biopsy).</span>

Nuclear energy use can negatively impact water quality. Please select the best answer from the choices provided T F
MAXImum [283]

The statement is - True.

The production of the nuclear energy by the nuclear reactors requires lot of water. The water's role is to constantly keep cool the reactors because if they overheat there can be a disaster of big proportions.

Because of the heating up of the water the water changes its properties slightly. Those changes have big environmental impact, easily seen in the local flora and fauna in close proximity to the nuclear reactors. There is way to big of a percentage of bad mutations among the flora and fauna where the water is released from the nuclear reactors, where very often there's animals with either more or less extremities, two heads, weird growth and shape of the plants etc.
