Answer:

1) By 11:30pm

2) Shortly before midnight (few minutes to 12:00am)

Explanation:

Since the strain of bacteria takes 1 minute to divide (double its population), and by midnight (12:00am) the entire bottle becomes full, then:

I) Subtract Initial division time from Final division time i.e 12:00 - 11:00 = 1 hour

II) Split 1 hour into two (60minutes makes 1 hour)

I hour/2 = 30 minutes

Definitely, the bottle will be half filled by 11:30pm

2) Once half filled, the rapidly dividing cells reach for the top of the bottle as midnight approaches. By 11:50pm upwards, bottle space must have been running out

A patient is scheduled for a fiberoptic colonoscopy. what does the nurse know that fiberoptic colonoscopy is most frequently use
Naya [18.7K]
During colonoscopy, a flexible Fiberoptic or video colonoscope is used to visualize, examine and photograph the large intestine including the anus, the rectum and the sigmoid, transverse and ascending colon. This procedure is most frequently used for cancer screening and for surveillance in patients with previous colon cancer or polyps. In addition, tissue biopsies can be obtained as needed and polyps can be removed and evaluated. Other uses of colonoscopy include the evaluation of patients with diarrhea of unknown cause, occult bleeding, or anemia; further study of abnormalities detected after a barium enema and diagnosis clarification and determination of the extent of inflammatory or other bowel disease. Colonoscopy is contraindicated if the patient has a suspected or documented colon perforation, acute severe diverticulitis or fulminant colitis.
