Answer: A and D

Explanation: In old age, dehydration and compression of the disc between the vertebrae in the spine causes reduction in height.  The loss of bone density (osteoporosis) can also make the spine to become more curved, and make the vertebrae to collapse due to thinning that is caused by overall decrease in body water. This can be the reason for the reduction in height of the patient.

Answer: A, B and D

Explanation: Old age comes with changes in couple of anatomical and physiological processes,during ageing alot of body metabolism decline leading a noticeable change in the structure and functions of the body tissues,organs and the whole body system in general.

Reduced hydration,loss of cartilage,and thinning of vertebrae can all contribute to loss of stature during ageing process.

after completing assessment rounds, which client should the nurse discuss with the health care provider (hcp) first?
rusak2 [61]

A patient who was brought in from the emergency room last evening after suffering a head injury is currently throwing up and disoriented.

<h3>What is a health care provider (HCP )?</h3>

A client who has experienced head trauma should be reported right away to the HCP and further assessed.

A dime-sized area is not immediately important, but the nurse should mark a circle around the amount of drainage on a dressing after surgery.

Therefore, it may be watched and reported to the HCP if it rises in size, after surgery, stomach pain and constipation need care but are not a top concern.

How are dendrites synthesized in a neuron?
hram777 [196]

Answer:

The processing power of the mammalian brain is derived from the tremendous interconnectivity of its neurons. An individual neuron can have several thousand synaptic connections. While these associations yield computational power, it is the modification of these synapses that gives rise to the brain's capacity to learn, remember and even recover function after injury. Inter-connectivity and plasticity come at the price of increased complexity as small groups of synapses are strengthened and weakened independently of one another (Fig. 1). When one considers that new protein synthesis is required for the long-term maintenance of these changes, the delivery of new proteins to the synapses where they are needed poses an interesting problem (Fig. 1). Traditionally, it has been thought that the new proteins are synthesized in the cell body of the neuron and then shipped to where they are needed. Delivering proteins from the cell body to the modified synapses, but not the unmodified ones, is a difficult task. Recent studies suggest a simpler solution: dendrites themselves are capable of synthesizing proteins. Thus, proteins could be produced locally, at or near the synapses where they are needed. This is an elegant way to achieve the synapse specific delivery of newly synthesized proteins.
