I think the priority action is to monitor Bowel movements. 
Kayexalate causes potassium to be exchanged for sodium in the intestines and excreted through bowel movements. If the client does not have stools, the drug cannot work properly. Blood pressure and the urine output are not of primary importance. The nurse would already expect changes in T waves with hyperkalemia. Normal serum potassium is 3.5 to 5.5 mEq/L.

assume that life on Mars requires cell potential to be 100mV, and the extracellular concentrations of the three major species ar
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given:

The cell potential on mars E = + 100 mV

By using Goldman's equation:

E_m = \dfrac{RT}{zF}In \Big (\dfrac{P_K[K^+]_{out}+P_{Na}[Na^+]_{out}+P_{Cl}[Cl^-]_{out} }{P_K[K^+]_{in}+P_{Na}[Na^+]_{in}+ P_{Cl}[Cl^-]_{in}}      \Big )

Let's take a look at the impermeable cell with respect to two species;

and the two species be Na⁺ and Cl⁻

E_m = \dfrac{RT}{zF} In \dfrac{[K^+]_{out}}{[K^+]_{in}}

where;

z = ionic charge on the species = + 1

F = faraday constant

∴

100 \times 10^{-3} = \Big (\dfrac{8.314 \times 298}{1\times 96485} \Big) \mathtt{In}  \Big ( \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}}   \Big)

100 \times 10^{-3} = 0.0257 \Big ( \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}}   \Big)

3.981= \mathtt{In} \Big ( \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}}   \Big)

exp ( 3.981) = \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}} \\ \\  53.57 = \dfrac{4}{[K^+]_{in}}

[K^+]_{in} = \dfrac{4}{53.57}

[K^+]_{in}  = 0.0476

For [Cl⁻]:

100 \times 10^{-3} = -0.0257 \  \mathtt{In} \Big ( \dfrac{120}{[Cl^-]_{in}}   \Big)

-3.981 =  \  \mathtt{In} \Big ( \dfrac{120}{[Cl^-]_{in}}   \Big)

0.01867 =  \dfrac{120}{[Cl^-]_{in}}

[Cl^-]_{in} = \dfrac{120}{0.01867}

[Cl^-]_{in} =6427.4

For [Na⁺]:

100 \times 10^{-3} = 0.0257 \Big ( \dfrac{145}{[Na^+]_{in}}   \Big)

53.57= \Big ( \dfrac{145}{[Na^+]_{in}}   \Big)

[Na^+]_{in}= 2.70

Answer:

Carbohydrates covalently linked to proteins (glycoproteins) or lipids (glycolipids) are also a part of cell membranes, and function as adhesion and address loci for cells. The Fluid Mosaic Model describes membranes as a fluid lipid bilayer with floating proteins and carbohydrates.
