Answer:

Obtain specimen before antibiotics are given.

Explanation:

Antibiotics may be defined as the chemicals given to kill or restrict the growth of the bacterial infection. The antibiotics are not available for virus as they can change their DNA.

The sensitivity results can be accurate if the nurse is able to ensure the successful culture of the antibiotics. Throat culture specimen is taken from the pharyngeal area. The aseptic technique can be used by the nurse for obtaining the blood and urine specimen.

Thus, the answer is obtain specimen before antibiotics are given.

The pluripotent, undifferentiated cells in the bone marrow that give rise to the formed elements are called _____ cells
LuckyWell [14K]

The pluripotent, undifferentiated cells in the bone marrow that give rise to the formed elements are called stem cells.

Pluripotent stem cells have the ability to undergo self-renewal and to give rise to all cells of the tissues of the body. However, this definition has been recently complicated by the existence of distinct cellular states that display these features.

There are two types of pluripotent stem cells :

  • Embryonic stem cells (ESCs)
  • Induced pluripotent stem cells

Embryonic stem cells are derived from the inner cell mass (ICM) of pre-implantation embryos and can be indefinitely maintained and expanded in the pluripotent state in vitro. Pluripotent stem cells can also be obtained by inducing dedifferentiation of adult somatic cells through a recently developed in vitro technology, known as cell reprogramming.

Similarly to  Embryonic stem cells , Induced pluripotent stem cells can be expanded indefinitely and they are capable to differentiate in all the derivatives of the three germ layers.

Another intriguing features of being pluripotent is its reliance on gene expression heterogeneity.

sasho [114]
Chesapeake bay is an area that  has suffered from overharvesting and eutrophication. Eutrophication is an enrichment of water by nutrients salts that causes structural changes in the ecosystem such as increased formation of algae and aquatic plants, depletion of fish species among other effects. The greatest source of nitrogen and phosphorus in a Chesapeake bay is agriculture
