Question

A 70-year-old male client has been admitted to a hospital for the treatment of a recent hemorrhagic stroke that has left him with numerous motor and sensory deficits. These deficits are most likely the result of which of the following mechanisms of cell injury?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hypoxia and ATP depletion.

Explanation:

A hemorrhagic stroke may be defined as the medical condition in which the blood from the arteries start flowing in the blood. This may occur due to the bursting of the blood vessel.

The 70 year old client suffers from the hemorrhagic stroke. This stroke causes the depletion of the oxygen known as hypoxia condition in the brain cells. The deficiency of the oxygen hinders the production of ATp and may result in the ATP depletion of the body.

Thus, the answer is hypoxia and ATP depletion.
