The correct answer is: ensure that all tubes are attached to collection devices

An adequately functioning nasogastric (NG) tube should prevent nausea and vomiting because stomach contents are continuously being removed. Using the NG after abdominal surgery is a routine postoperative procedure until gastrointestinal tract starts to function properly. The patency of the tube should be checked together with the amount and character of gastric drainage.

An isotope has an atomic number of 8 and an atomic mass number of 18. How many neutrons does it have?
Paul [167]
The atomic number of an isotope is the number of protons it contains, whereas the mass number is the total mass of the nucleus, which is the combined number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus. To find the number of neutrons, you must therefore subtract the atomic number of the isotope from the mass number of the isotope. 
<span>In the above example, the atomic number is 8 and the mass number is 18. This isotope is known as O18. The number of neutrons in the isotope is: Mass number - Atomic number = Number of neutrons

Marta_Voda [28]

Imagine you are surveying a population of a mountain range where the inhabitants live in the valleys with no inhabitants on the large mountains between. If your sample area is the valleys, and you use this to estimate the population across the entire mountain range, <u>you overestimate the actual population size</u>

<u />

Explanation:

  • An estimate that turns out to be incorrect will be an overestimate if the estimate exceeded the actual result, and an underestimate if the estimate fell short of the actual result.
  • The mean of the sampling distribution of a statistic is sometimes referred to as the expected value of the statistic. Therefore the sample mean is an unbiased estimate of μ.
  • Any given sample mean may underestimate or overestimate μ, but there is no systematic tendency for sample means to either under or overestimate μ.
  • Bias is the tendency of a statistic to overestimate or underestimate a parameter. Bias can seep into your results for a slew of reasons including sampling or measurement errors, or unrepresentative samples

Ions are captured and pushed through the membrane by:
Tasya [4]

By sodium and potassium pump.  

The sodium-potassium pump is observed in various cellular membranes. They are fueled by ATP, the pump moves potassium and sodium ions in reverse orientation, each against its concentration gradient. In a single cycle, two potassium ions are imported into the cell, and three sodium ions are extruded out.  

These pumps are utilized to produce gradients of sodium and potassium ions. These gradients are used to proliferate electrical signals, which travel along the nerves.
