Answer: A) Cold

Explanation:

The skin is the epidermal tissue that covers the inner body lining. As one ages the skin produces less collagen, The collagen is the building block of the skin it prevents the skin from wrinkles, loss of moisture, prevents the heat loss and sagging.

The subcutaneous tissues are also called as hypodermis. It is the innermost layer of the skin. The subcutaneous tissue is composed of fat and connective tissues that consists of blood vessels and nerves. The subcutaneous tissues act as insulator that helps in maintaining the body temperature.

The thinning of the subcutaneous layer of fat will make the body sensitive  towards the action of cold. In older adults the subcutaneous fat under the skin decreases considerably thus the older adults become susceptible to cold.

What is most likely to occur in a patient infected with a mutant strain of Bordetella pertussis that lacks functional adhesins?
Nata [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Bordetella pertussis is a gram-negative coccobacillus that causes a disease called whooping cough.

The bacterium infests the patients by colonizing lung epithelial cells. To do so, it requires adhesins, called filamentous haemagglutinin, fimbriae and pertactin. Once the bacterium is attached to the lung epithelial cells, it produces a cytotoxin that prevents their cilia from moving.

Another virulent factor from B. pertussis is the pertussis toxin, which alters host immune system through the inhibition of phagocytes response to it.

It is appropriate for the nurse to recommend smoking cessation for clients with hypertension because nicotine.
KIM [24]

Yes, it is appropriate for the nurse to recommend smoking cessation for clients with hypertension because nicotine in cigarettes causes your blood vessels to constrict and the heart to beat more rapidly, thus raising your blood pressure.

Nicotine is a extremely addictive chemical compound present in a tobacco plant.  Nicotine is a stimulant, which makes tobacco products addicting. Even when people wish to stop using tobacco products, nicotine prevents them from doing so.

Because of ongoing tobacco use, the number of deaths and disabilities attributable to tobacco use is rising globally (mainly cigarettes). While tobacco use is steadily increasing in high-income countries like the USA, it has reached epidemic proportions in many low- and middle-income nations (The Tobacco Atlas 2015; CDC 2016). 68 % of adult smokers in the United States want to stop, and millions have tried to do so, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC 2017).

Each year, 70 % of smokers contact a healthcare provider (AHRQ 2008). Since nurses participate in the majority of these visits and constitute the biggest group of healthcare providers globally, they have the potential to have a significant impact on the decline in tobacco use.
