Answer:

<em>Quinonoles/Fluoroquinolones</em>

Explanation:

Antibiotics are sometimes referred to as <u>antibacterials</u>. <em>They are substances that kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria</em>. There are different criteria for classifying antibacterials including origin, chemical structure, range and effects of activities, routes of administration and <em>mode of action</em>. based on the latter, the classes of antibacterial that exist include

  1. those that operates by inhibiting cell wall synthesis in bacteria. This include <em>penicillin, bacitracin, vancomycin</em> and several others. Once cell wall cannot be synthesized, the bacterial cells eventually die off because the protective function of the cell wall is absent.
  2. those that operate by inhibiting the process of protein synthesis in bacteria. Protein synthesis is essential for cell division and continuity of life and once this process is inhibited, bacterial cells will not be able to reproduce and eventually die at the end of their growth cycle. Examples include <em>aminoglycosides, streptomycin, tetracycline</em> and many others.
  3. those that operate by inhibiting nucleic acid synthesis. Nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) synthesis is essential for cell division and continuity of life just like protein synthesis. Example of antibacterial that inhibit RNA synthesis include <em>Rifampicin</em> while the one that inhibits DNA synthesis include <em>quinolones </em>and their <em>fluoroquinolone</em> derivatives.

The nurse should recognize this as Chvostek sign.

<h3>What is Chvostek sign?</h3>

A clinical indication that someone may have low blood calcium levels is the Chvostek sign (a decreased serum calcium, called hypocalcemia). The aberrant twitching of muscles that are stimulated (innervated) by the facial nerve  (also known as Cranial Nerve Seven, or CNVII) is known as the Chvostek sign.

The facial muscles on the same side of the face will occasionally contract when the facial nerve is touched in front of the ear (called ipsilateral facial spasm). Frequently, the muscles that regulate the nose, lips, and brows will spasm.

Which of the following is true of Mendelian inheritance
Ksivusya [100]
<h2><u>Answer</u> :</h2>

The correct option is A. If a dominant allele is present, the recessive allele won’t be seen.

The dominant allele is the one which appear, and the recessive one isn't shown.

For example - If a person has 2 alleles of eye colour as B ( black ) and b ( brown ), in which black is dominant and the brown one is recessive, then the person will have black eye colour because only dominant allele shows its characteristics.
