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.

-Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast, an organelle specific to plant cells. The light reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast.

-Energy Cycle in Living Things
The chloroplasts collect energy from the sun and use carbon dioxide and water in the process called photosynthesis to produce sugars. Animals can make use of the sugars provided by the plants in their own cellular energy factories, the mitochondria.

-Cyanobacteria, often known as blue-green algae, are among the most abundant organisms in oceans and fresh water. They are similar to green plants because they can use the energy from sunlight to make their own food through photosynthesis.

-What is a microbe? A microbe is any living organism that spends its life at a size too tiny to be seen with the naked eye. Microbes include bacteria and archaebacteria, protists, some fungi and even some very tiny animals that are too small to be seen without the aid of a microscope.

-Plants, algae and cyanobacteria use a chemical reaction known as photosynthesis to create the materials they need from what's around them. Plucking carbon dioxide from the air, water from the ground and light from the sun, land plants make sugar and kick out oxygen as a waste product.

The plane that separated the body into superior and inferior portions is a sagittal plane.

The plane may be away or at can lie at the center of the body and it splits the body into parts. It  may be far or close to the midline of the body. It may also split the body into two unequal parts.

The term saggital is coined by Gerard Cremona.

The correct answer is the arterial blood carbon oxide level. 
Arterial blood test measures oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the blood. It also measures the body's acid-base level, which is normally balanced when an individual is healthy. The normal range for carbon dioxide is 23 to 29 mEq/L.

  • Death rate = number of deaths/1000 of the population/year.
  • The death of young children under the age of 1 is known as Infant mortality rate.
  • The infant mortality rate (IMR) meausres the death toll which is the number of deaths of children under one year of age /1000 live births.
