A 52-year-old woman is admitted with dyspnea and discomfort in her left chest with deep breaths. She has smoked for 35 years and

recently lost over 10 lbs.
Her vital signs on admission are: HR 112, BP 138/82, RR 22, tympanic temperature 36.8° C (98.2° F), and oxygen saturation 94%. She is receiving oxygen at 2 L via a nasal cannula.

Which vital sign reflects a positive outcome of the oxygen therapy?
1. Temperature: 37° C (98.6° F)
2. Radial pulse: 112
3. Respiratory rate: 24
4. Oxygen saturation: 96%
5. Blood pressure: 134/78

Answer:

Oxygen saturation: 96%.

Explanation:

Dyspnea may be defined as the medical condition in which individual is unable to breathe properly even in enough air. The symptoms of dyspnea are shortness of breath, lungs and heart problem.

The oxygen therapy can be used to treat dyspnea. This increases the oxygen saturation in the body upto 96% and decreases the respiratory rate of the patient. The blood pressure and heart rate remains unaffected by the oxygen therapy.

Thus, the correct answer is option (4).

Answer:

The three methods are: 1) Using H-Ras- SREBP- 2 Fusion proteins, the NH2 segment can be released by two sequentia

Explanation:

Sterol regulatory element binding proteins (SREBPs) are transcription factors attached to the endoplasmic reticulum. The NH2-segment, which activates transcription, is connected to membranes by a hairpin anchor formed by two transmembrane sequences and a short lumenal loop. Using H-Ras–SREBP-2 fusion proteins, we show that the NH2-segment is released from membranes by two sequential cleavages. The first, regulated by sterols, occurs in the lumenal loop. The second, not regulated by sterols, occurs within the first transmembrane domain. The liberated NH2-segment enters the nucleus and activates genes controlling cholesterol synthesis and uptake. Certain mutant Chinese hamster ovary cells are auxotrophic for cholesterol because they fail to carry out the second cleavage; the NH2-segment remains membrane-bound and transcription is not activated.

Hatshy [7]

Respiratory rate increased from 16 to 19 breaths per minute is  vital signs during activity would be the best indicator that the client is tolerating mild exercise.

Your body utilizes more oxygen during exercise and creates more carbon dioxide when your muscles perform harder. Your breathing has to increase from about 15 times per minute while you are resting to about 40–60 times per minute while you are exercising in order to meet this additional requirement. To supply the body with oxygen more quickly, breathing rate rises. To more effectively get the oxygen (and glucose) to the breathing muscles, the heart rate increases. These procedures call for oxygen. Because of this, when an activity is completed, a person's respiration and pulse rate do not immediately return to normal. The oxygen debt is the quantity of oxygen needed to flush out the lactic acid and replenish the body's oxygen stores.
