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.

Which parasitic protist evades the host immune system by altering its surface proteins with each generation?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Trypanosoma brucei

Explanation:

T. brucei is a unicellular eukaryotic parasite that causes sleeping sickness. This organism has an elongated body, central nucleus, only an elongated mitochondria housing the kinetoplast, where the mitochondrial DNA is located; It has a scourge that gives it motility. Its undulating cell membrane, as a result of flagellar movements, is covered with glycoproteins that elicit little immune reaction, allowing this parasite to go unnoticed.

This organism infects the host by evading the host's immune system by altering its surface proteins with each generation.
