You have been assigned to care for Jim. He is 29 years old and has been diagnosed with Schizophrenia. Jim has been prescribed ch

lorpromazine [Thorazine]. He lives with his parents. You have been asked to talk with Jim's family. His parents have questions about the side effects of chlorpromazine. While Jim is in a group session, you meet with his parents. Jim's mother states that she is concerned. "I understand that Jim will need to take the medication for the rest of his life. How can I ever going to get him to take these pills if the side effects are so bad?" What is your response​

Answer and Explanation:

My first response would be that it is not a good strategy to speculate things negatively in the very begining even when you have not tried it. We can definitely go for alternative drugs in case it doesn't fit to Jim's metabolic functioning and physiology. However, it is also possible that the drug would help Jim. Everybody is different when it comes to side effects of a particular drug. Some people even don't show any side effects for one particular drug whereas others show mild or significant concerns. Therefore, I would suggest her to reconsider her decision and try chlorpromazine as prescribed. After all, it is Schizophrenia and you cannot simply ignore it. Such negligence could worsen the situation for Jim and you all.

An isotope undergoes radioactive decay by emitting radiation that has no mass. What other characteristic does the radiation have
lisabon 2012 [21]

Since the radiation has no mass .It is Gamma radiation.

Step by Step Explanation:

Characteristics of Gamma radiation are as follows:

  • Gamma radiations are chargeless.
  • It is Electromagnetic wave having a very short wavelength.
  • It is not effected by the electric or magnetic field.
  • It has velocity equal to light in vaccum .
  • It has a very high intensity and can penetrate long distances.
  • It has a very low ionizing power. i.e. it does not ionize the medium in whic it travels.

Gamma radiation has proved itself to be very useful in radioactive treatment of cancer due to its high penetrating power.

List the advantages and disadvantages of the switch from persistent chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides (such as ddt) to nonpersi
expeople1 [14]
Persistent chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides persist in the environment and accumulate in the foods chain causing harmful effects on the environment including posing a threat to humans health in the long term. Nonpersistent organophosphate pesticides are more toxic than the former but degrade after a short life span. Therefore they cause immediate harm in case one is in contact with them.
The fact that they do not accumulate in the environment, they are more favourable than chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides. Chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides will affect several generations due to their accumulation in the environment. However they don't need to be re-applied hence are less expensive

Besides lacking enzymes for rna editing describe how the lack of compartments in a prokaryotic cell results in a difference in g
777dan777 [17]

The first major difference between prokaryote and eukaryote gene expression is the location. Due to lack of compartments (nucleus) prokaryotic gene expression (both transcription and translation) occurs within the cytoplasm (genetic material is located within the cytoplasm). So, transcription and translation in prokaryote occurs simultaneously. Gene expression in eukaryote occurs in both the nucleus (transcription) and cytoplasm (translation).

The steps of regulation of gene expression are also dissimilar, in prokaryotic cell, transcription is mostly the main point of regulation (eukaryote have transcription, post-transcription, translation, and post-translation regulation together with epigenetic regulation).
