Answer:

The RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism

Explanation:

RNA interference (RNAi) is a biological process by which endogenous non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) sequences target messenger RNAs in order to inhibit gene expression and translation. The regulatory ncRNAs bind by complementary base pairing to specific mRNAs and thus promote gene silencing by both posttranscriptional (mRNA degradation, block translation, etc) and by transcriptional (recruiting of histone/DNA modifying enzymes) pathways. The most common types of evolutionarily conserved ncRNAs found in plant and animal cells are 1-small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), 2-microRNAs (miRNAs), 3-piwi interacting RNAs (piRNAs, only present in animal cells) and 4-long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs).

It would lower the pH, raise the acidity of the water, and it would kill off a lot of marine life if it got too high. As species begin to die their predators follow, and this could cause mass extinction.

The correct answer is that "further teaching on skin care is necessary". This patient is using tepid water to cleanse the area as well as applying ice three times a day. The nurse should educate the patient that the extremes of temperatures are not necessary and should be avoided such as warm to hot water as well as cold water or even ice. Cold water or ice will constrict blood vessels in the area and can produce tissue necrosis by ischemia. Warm to hot water can scald the skin (if hot enough) and even promote the redness as warm water dilates blood vessels.
