Answer:

The correct answer is - tight junctions.

Explanation:

Tight junctions are one of the cell-cell junctions that make a barrier to the passage of material which is a present in epithelia. This barrier is impermeable to most of the materials with soluble molecules. This barrier is made up of the occludin and claudin proteins.

Tight epithelia have tight junctions and examples of such junctions are the distal convoluted tubule or DCT, and the collecting duct of the nephron in the kidney.

Thus, the correct answer is - tight junctions.

The client with chronic kidney disease and congestive heart failure is weak and dyspneic. Lab work reveals a hemaglobin of 6.5 g

inysia [295]

Answer:

packed RBC

Explanation:

Packed red blood cells consist of red blood cells that are separated from the rest of the blood components and are used for transfusion.
When the hemoglobin of a person falls below 70–80 g/L (7–8 g/dL), then the person is usually transfused with packed RBC.
In the given situation, the client has chronic kidney disease and congestive heart failure and as a result of this, the hemoglobin levels of the client has fallen down 6.5 g/dL (65 g/L) and thus, there is an immediate need for the provider to perform a transfusion of packed RBC of appropriate blood type as RBCs are a carrier of hemoglobin in the body.
