Answer:

10 mmHg

Explanation:

Net filtration pressure may be defined as the pressure present at the end of venule capillary. This pressure is important for the proper functioning of kidney.

Net filtration pressure can be calculated by difference between glomerular blood hydrostatic pressure (55 mmHg) and the sum of capsular hydrostatic pressure (15mmHg) and blood colloid osmotic pressure (30mmHg). The calaculated net filtration pressure is 10mmHg.

Thus, the correct answer is option (b).

Which of the following medications have no primary effect on heart rate, but can lower blood pressure
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Calcium channel blocker

These medications lower blood pressure and treat other conditions such as chest pain and an irregular heartbeat.

<h3>What are Calcium channel blocker ?</h3>

Calcium channel blockers are medications used to lower blood pressure. They work by preventing calcium from entering the cells of the heart and arteries.

  • Calcium causes the heart and arteries to squeeze (contract) more strongly. By blocking calcium, calcium channel blockers allow blood vessels to relax and open.

  • The medications may also be prescribed to relieve chest pain (angina) and control an irregular heartbeat.

  • Calcium channel blockers are also called calcium antagonists.

after administering a loop diuretic, a nurse monitors the client for increased urine output. what principle explains the seconda
Levart [38]

The correct answer for this question is Osmosis.

Osmotic diuresis is an increase in urine production brought on by the presence of specific chemicals in the tiny kidney tubes. When chemicals like glucose enter the kidney tubules and cannot be reabsorbed, excretion takes place (due to a pathological state or the normal nature of the substance). The compounds raise the osmotic pressure inside the tubule, which causes water to be retained in the lumen and inhibits water absorption, boosting urine production (i.e., diuresis). Therapeutics like mannitol, which is used to improve urine output and decrease extracellular fluid volume, have the similar effect.

By making the blood more osmolar, substances in the circulation can also increase the volume of fluid flowing through the body.

A client often has fears about leaving the secure, cared-for environment of the health care facility. This client has a fear about not being able to care for himself at home and of not being able to handle the tube feedings at home. A therapeutic communication statement such as "Tell me more about . . ." often leads to valuable information about the client and his concerns.

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option D- Sensory (afferent) neurons

Explanation:

Afferent neurons are the sensory neurons which transmit the impulse from the sensory receptors of the body to the central nervous system- brain or spinal cord.

The afferent neuron receives the stimulus which generates the impulse. this impulse travels down to the interneuron where the stimulus is interpreted and response is sent through efferent neuron or motor neuron to muscle  

Thus, option D- Sensory (afferent) neurons are the correct answer.
