A client has surgery for an abdominal cholecystectomy and returns from surgery with a nasogastric tube to low continuous suction

, a t-tube, and an indwelling catheter. which intervention should the nurse perform first? fasten each tube to the bedsheets irrigate each tube with normal saline measure the drainage in the collection devices ensure that all tubes are attached to collection devices

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.

The zinc chloride produced by the reaction is in what state
ANEK [815]

Answer: Solution in Water

Explanation:

I believe this refers to the reaction between Zinc and Hydrochloric acid.

When this happens, the solution will be Zinc Chloride but as it happened in a solution (the acid), the resulting Zinc Chloride salt would be in aqueous form which means that it would be a solution in water which is the other product of this reaction.

Had the zinc reacted with gaseous HCI, it would have resulted in a Zinc Chloride with no liquid in it.

How does flouride cause kidney deasies
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Hepato- and nephrotoxicity of fluoride have been demonstrated in animals, but few studies have examined potential effects in humans. This population-based study examines the relationship between chronic low-level fluoride exposure and kidney and liver function among United States (U.S.) adolescents. This study aimed to evaluate whether greater fluoride exposure is associated with altered kidney and liver parameters among U.S. youth.

This cross-sectional study utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013–2016). We analyzed data from 1983 and 1742 adolescents who had plasma and water fluoride measures respectively and did not have kidney disease. Fluoride was measured in plasma and household tap water. Kidney parameters included estimated glomerular filtration rate (calculated by the original Schwartz formula), serum uric acid, and the urinary albumin to creatinine ratio. Liver parameters were assessed in serum and included alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, blood urea nitrogen, gamma-glutamyl transferase, and albumin. Survey-weighted linear regression examined relationships between fluoride exposure and kidney and liver parameters after covariate adjustment. A Holm-Bonferroni correction accounted for multiple comparisons.

The average age of adolescents was 15.4 years. Median water and plasma fluoride concentrations were 0.48 mg/L and 0.33 μmol/L respectively. A 1 μmol/L increase in plasma fluoride was associated with a 10.36 mL/min/1.73 m2 lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (95% CI: −17.50, −3.22; p = 0.05), a 0.29 mg/dL higher serum uric acid concentration (95% CI: 0.09, 0.50; p = 0.05), and a 1.29 mg/dL lower blood urea nitrogen concentration (95%CI: −1.87, −0.70; p < 0.001). A 1 mg/L increase in water fluoride was associated with a 0.93 mg/dL lower blood urea nitrogen concentration (95% CI: −1.44, −0.42; p = 0.007).

Fluoride exposure may contribute to complex changes in kidney and liver related parameters among U.S. adolescents. As the study is cross-sectional, reverse causality cannot be ruled out; therefore, altered kidney and/or liver function may impact bodily fluoride absorption and metabolic processes.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

A = Activator

B = Effector

Explanation:

An activator is a protein which typically binds to a short (50–1500 bp) region of DNA which might be located either upstream (mainly) or downstream of a gene so as to cause increased transcription. This particular region of DNA is known as enhancer and activator is also  known as transcription factor. Activator is a trans-acting factor which binds to the cis-acting factor which is enhancer so as to enhance transcriptional expression.

But another protein named as effector may restrict activator from binding to the enhancer leading to a decrease in transcriptional expression by binding to the activator allosterically. Allosteric binding of effector to the activator causes conformational change in activator so it can no longer bind the enhancer.
