Answer:

The drug doses mentioned in the patient chart are in normal dosage limits. However, Tylenol shall be discontinued.

Explanation:

Acetaminophen is an analgesic and antipyretic drug and its mechanism of action is only limited to central nervous system. Acetaminophen does not produce antiplatelet effects and does not interfere with COX 1 and COX 2 inhibition by NSAIDs i.e. Ibuprofen. Hence it is safe to use Ibuprofen with Acetaminophen or hydrocodone/ acetaminophen. However, both acetaminophen (Tylenol) and Hydrocodone/ acetaminophen cannot be used in combination because the daily acetaminophen dose becomes too high. High dose of acetaminophen may cause serious side effects such as congestion, swelling, sweating, unusual bleeding, and stomach pain. Acetaminophen lowers body temperature and increases the threshold for pain but does not affect inflammation. Hence, NSAIDs are given in combination to reduce inflammation but high doses may lead to bleeding, stroke and other cardiovascular symptoms. It is safe to take albuterol with NSAIDs and acetaminophen, as it reduces congestion and improves breathing.

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

OBJECTIVES:

To observe symptoms and signs of representative diseases caused by the Oomycete pathogens.

To become familiar with vegetative and reproductive structures of the Oomycetes, and their role in disease development.

The Oomycetes, also known as water molds, are a large group of terrestrial and aquatic eukaryotic organisms. Although they superficially resemble fungi in mycelial growth and mode of nutrition, molecular studies and distinct morphological characteristics place them in the kingdom Chromalveolata (phylum Heterokontophyta, the 'stramenopiles') with brown and golden algae and diatoms.

The nurse is caring for a client diagnosed with enlarged adenoids. What condition is produced by enlarged adenoids
almond37 [142]

Noisy breathing is produced by enlarged adenoids.

The lymphoid adenoids are located in the upper airway between the back of the throat and the nose. They resemble tonsils in appearance. Adenoids that are enlarged indicate swelling tissue. The tonsils, esophagus, trachea, and epiglottis are among the components of the throat.

Snoring, mouth breathing, chronic congestion, nasal discharge, ear issues, sinusitis, and "nasal" voice quality can all be signs of an enlarged adenoid.

The rear of the mouth and on either side of the throat are home to the tiny, rounded tonsils. The adenoid is a mass of tissue that is situated above the roof of the mouth, behind the nasal cavity. Adenoids and tonsils combat infections and can expand if they do so.

A bacterial infection, such as one with the bacteria Streptococcus, may be the cause of adenoiditis. Adenovirus, rhinovirus, and Epstein-Barr virus are just a few of the viruses that might cause it.

Enlarged adenoid symptoms are:

  • breathing through the nose is challenging.
  • Poor breath and chapped lips as a result of mouth breathing.
  • having a compressed or stuffed-nose sound.
  • recurring nasal issues.
  • Snoring.
  • Obstructive sleep apnea or restless sleep.
  • middle ear infections that recur or fluid buildup in children at school
