A 1-month-old infant in the neonatal intensive care unit is dying. his parents request that a nurse give the infant an opioid an
NNADVOKAT [17]
Answer: 

Providing analgesia during the last days, and hours, is an ethically- appropriate nursing action.



Explanation:

All clients, regardless of age, have the right to die with dignity, and be free from pain. The parents have the right to request an opioid to relieve the child's distress. Assisted suicide requires some action on the part of the client, and this is not possible for a one- month old infant.  Both the nurse and the parents have an ethical duty to the child. Withholding the opioid analgesic from a dying child is not appropriate, because, of fear it may hasten death, at any age, and this is not considered a contradiction for administering of analgesia.


Hope it helps.

What happens when light energy excites electrons in photosystem II?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

C. Electrons are released into the electron transport system.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis has both light dependent processes and light-independent processes. In the light-dependent reactions, photosystem II is the first protein complex. Photosystem II is present in the thylakoid membrane of plants.

<em>When the photons or light energy hits photosystem II, the free electron excites and released into the electron transport system (series of proteins). </em>The electron then passes through electron transport system and the energy from the electron fuels the hydrogen ions to move against their concentration gradient. Once the energy is utilized, the electron is accepted by photosystem I.

Hence, the correct option is C.
