Answer:

<u>Ethanol prevents toxicity by competing with Ethylene glycol for metabolism by alcohol dehydrogenase.</u>

Explanation:

Ethylene glycol is an organic compound usually used in antifreeze solutions, solvents and cleaners.

It is abused during self-destruction and accidental intakes.

<u>In the body, ethylene glycol is acted upon by alcohol dehydrogenase and is converted into glycolate and oxalate.</u>

Glycolate and oxalate are both nephrotoxic/ kidney damaging substances. Oxalate precipitates calcium oxalate stones in the kidney. Ethylene glycol poisoning also causes high anion gap metabolic acidosis.

In order to prevent ethylene glycol poisoning, the patient is infused with ethanol, ethanol <u>prevents toxicity by competing with Ethylene glycol for metabolism by alcohol dehydrogenase.</u> In this way, ethylene glycol is not metabolized and the formation of nephrotoxic substances is prevented. Alcohol dehydrogenase instead reacts with ethanol to form acetaldehyde.

nitroprusside sodium (nipride) 50 mg is mixed in d5w 250 ml. the nurse plans to administer the solution at a rate of 5 mcg/kg/mi
Cerrena [4.2K]

124 gtt/min drops per minute should the nurse regulate the infusion . Because Sodium nitroprusside (nipride) 50 mg is mixed in d5w 250 ml.

182/2.2 Equals 82.73 kg when converting from lbs to kg. For this client, determine the dosage: 413.65 mcg/min = 5 mcg x 82.73. Calculate how much mcg Sodium nitroprusside  are present in 1 ml: 200 mcg per ml is 250/50,000 mcg.

The customer is to receive 2.07ml per minute (413.65 mcg/min x 200 mcg/ml), or 413.65 mcg/min x 200 mcg/ml. When the drip factor is 60 gtt/ml, the equation is 60 2.07 = 124.28 gtt/min OR, when utilising dimensional analysis, the equation is 60 gtt/ml X 250 ml/50 mg X 1 mg/1,000 mcg X 5 mcg/kg/min X 1 kg/2.2 pounds X 182 lbs.

Blood in the ventricle that is destined for the pulmonary capillary beds is in contact with the:
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option C- endothelial cells of the endocardium.

Explanation:

The pulmonary capillary bed is the network of capillaries in the lungs- alveolar region mainly where gaseous exchange takes place.

This bed receives blood from the pulmonary arteriole which arises from the pulmonary artery. The blood is pumped to this artery through the right ventricle of the heart. The right ventricle- especially the valves is lined from with the endocardium which lines it and prevents the blood from sticking to the inside of the chamber.

Therefore, the blood pumped from the right ventricle is in contact with the endothelial cells of the endocardium and option C is the correct answer.

Project: Ethics and morals
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

ETHICS :

Ethics or moral philosophy is a branch of philosophy that "involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior".The field of ethics, along with aesthetics, concerns matters of value, and thus comprises the branch of philosophy called axiology.

Ethics seeks to resolve questions of human morality by defining concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice and crime. As a field of intellectual inquiry, moral philosophy also is related to the fields of moral psychology, descriptive ethics, and value theory.

Three major areas of study within ethics recognized today are:

1. Meta-ethics, concerning the theoretical meaning and reference of moral propositions, and how their truth values (if any) can be determined

2. Normative ethics, concerning the practical means of determining a moral course of action

3. Applied ethics, concerning what a person is obligated (or permitted) to do in a specific situation or a particular domain of action.

MORALS :

A moral (from Latin morālis) is a message that is conveyed or a lesson to be learned from a story or event. The moral may be left to the hearer, reader, or viewer to determine for themselves, or may be explicitly encapsulated in a maxim. A moral is a lesson in a story or in real life.
