Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer: Option B. "False"

Explanation:

Nephron can be defined as the functional unit of the kidney.

Descending limb and ascending limb are the combinly called loop of nephron or henle and are the part of renal tubule in the nephron.

Descending limbs and  ascending limbs have different permeabilities to water and salt that causes high osmolarity in the Medulla.

The thin descending limb is having high permeability to water as they have low permeability to ions and urea while the thick ascending limb has impermeablity to water as there is active reabsorption of ions.

Hence, the correct option is B.

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

A client arrived in the emergency department with a sharp object penetrating the diaphragm. This can be a serious injury, however, the cardinal signs and symptoms of an impaired gas exchange should identify as a priority.

The nurse would first assess the airway by observing for any respiratory distress or inappropriate cough. Other potential indicators are tingling/tingling sensation on the tongue and lips, inability to swallow, hoarseness, or voice changes.

Explanation:

The nurse could identify the priority nursing diagnosis as an abnormal breathing pattern. The nurse may need to alert the physician that this type of injury will cause impaired gas exchange, which can affect vital organs in the body.

The priority of nursing care is to stop the bleeding and assess for any underlying injuries. A nursing diagnosis of pain and anxiety might be appropriate if the client was found to be in severe pain, but not stress related. Since we know that diaphragm injuries can cause impeded gas exchange, it would make sense if this client exhibited signs of impaired gas exchange and had shortness of breath after the brief attempt at identifying their wound.

A knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) survey and an extensive entomologic survey were conducted in two sub-districts of Kamphaeng Phet province, Thailand, to test the hypothesis that correct dengue knowledge and practice reduce dengue vector populations.

We found a negative association between respondents' knowledge of preventive measures and the number of unprotected containers in and around their houses. Knowledge of development sites was positively associated with unprotected containers.

What is most likely to occur in a patient infected with a mutant strain of Bordetella pertussis that lacks functional adhesins?
Nata [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Bordetella pertussis is a gram-negative coccobacillus that causes a disease called whooping cough.

The bacterium infests the patients by colonizing lung epithelial cells. To do so, it requires adhesins, called filamentous haemagglutinin, fimbriae and pertactin. Once the bacterium is attached to the lung epithelial cells, it produces a cytotoxin that prevents their cilia from moving.

Another virulent factor from B. pertussis is the pertussis toxin, which alters host immune system through the inhibition of phagocytes response to it.
