<span>The nurse should put the client at prone position a couple of times in a day for about 20 minutes to prevent hip flexion contracture. The client can be position in supine but the stump must be elevated for the first 24 hours by uplifting the foot of the bed instead of using pillow. The elevation of residual limb after surgery helps lessen edema and pain by increasing venous return and decreasing venous pooling at the distal portion of the extremity.</span>

The nurse should position the client at a prone position every 3 to 4 hours for 20 to 30 minutes periods. This should be done periodically. Arterial insufficiency is any condition that slows or stops the flow of blood through your arteries. Arteries are blood vessels that circulate blood from the heart to other parts of the body.

What is the function of helicase in dna replication? see concept 16.2 (page 322)?
Salsk061 [2.6K]
The function of Helicase in the process of DNA replication is to untwist the double helix and separating the two DNA strands. This action of helicase creates the replication forks and replication bubbles where the process of replication is initiated. Their main role is the separation of double-stranded DNA into single strands allowing each strand to be copied during the process of replication. It may also function in other cellular processes where the double-stranded DNA must be separated, including transcription and repair. <span />

Why accurate biological drawings are more valuable to a scientific investigation than an artistic approach?
viktelen [127]
Scientific drawing is made-up to be precise and founded on real living things or fossils. Artistic drawings do not have to have any origin in realism and it can be abstract and it does not have to tolerate any similarity to any real life object. Artistic drawings are not unavoidably meant to be a faithful reproduction of anything in nature even though that was once the aim in the distant past before the invention of photography. Constructing good biological drawings be situated significant in that they aid to develop more accustomed with the topic over vigilant consideration to the smallest feature. Drawings allow to progress observational skills which is the principle of good science. Good drawings are those that abridge, highlight, review, and explain all at once. For these explanations, consideration to the smallest feature is precise significant. Biological drawings are not destined to be artistic masterpieces but are more like graphic notes that help record a set of observations. As such, these observations must be accomplished in class with the specimen directly observable.
