She notices that the muscle cells are loaded with mitochondria while the macrophages have abundant lysosomes. why is this so?
Kaylis [27]

The muscle cells are loaded with mitochondria to allow large amounts of ATP production while the macrophages have abundant lysosomes to digest the debris and dead organisms like bacteria.

Mitochondria are known as the powerhouse of a cell. This is because most of the ATP production used by various systems in their operation is produced by mitochondria. A chemical called NADH is produced in the mitochondrial matrix through the Krebs cycle. The enzymes embedded in the mitochondrial membrane use this chemical to produce Adenosine Triphosphate, generally known as ATP.

Macrophages are phagocytic white blood cells involved in engulfing and killing pathogens. They are involved in the innate immune response of the body. Lysosomes have specialized enzymes that can kill these pathogens.

Muscle cells need to contract or expand for which they require energy. Thus, they have abundant mitochondria. Whereas, the macrophages have abundant lysosomes to help them kill disease-causing pathogens like a virus or bacteria.

To know more about ATP production in mitochondria, refer to the following link:

A nurse is preparing a client for discharge following an abdominal hysterectomy for fibroids. After providing discharge teaching
lesantik [10]

Answer:

Answer is option B -  "I should shower rather than take a tub bath."

Explanation:

Abdominal hysterectomy is the surgical removal of a part or all of the uterus by making an incision in the lower abdomen. After the surgery, the patient normally spends 2 - 5 days in the hospital and takes at least 4 - 6 weeks to get completely better. Some of the major discharge instructions are;

  • Drink enough water and eat smaller meals that are rich in proteins and fiber and plenty of fruits and vegetables daily. This helps with the healing process and prevents constipation.
  • Avoid swimming or taking a tub bath, but can take showers.
  • Dressings over the incision should be removed daily and keep the wound area clean.
  • Avoid inserting anything such as tampons into the vagina for 6 weeks after the surgery.
  • Avoid all heavy activity including strenuous household activities, weightlifting, and other strenuous exercises. Short walking and light household chores can be done.
  • Avoid driving if the patient is taking narcotic pain-relieving medicines. Long trips in vehicles or airplanes are not recommended for 4 weeks after the surgery.
