NARA [144]

Answer:

3. A client receiving chemotherapy and a client with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) coughing yellow sputum.

4. A client with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and a client with coffee ground emesis.

5.Two clients with tuberculosis.

Explanation:

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs and this disease is not contagious, the yellow sputum indicates the presence of a potentially pathogenic bacteria (infection in your lungs), but it will not be transferred through the air.  A person on chemotherapy treatment has cancer which is also not contagious so these two people may be placed in the same room.

Pelvic inflammation disease (PID) is an infection of the female reproductive organs and is occurs when sexually transmitted bacteria spread from the vagina to the uterus, fallopian tubes or ovaries.  Coffee ground emesis is a type of vomit that looks like coffee grounds meaning there is old blood in the vomit (a person is vomiting blood).  These two are not contagious so the two people can be put in a room together.

Tuberculosis (TB) is an air borne disease that infects mainly the lungs and people may get infected by inhaling the TB bacteria (Mycobacterium tuberculosis).  So when someone with untreated TB coughs or sneezes, the air is then filled with droplets containing the TB bacteria, if a person who does not have TB inhales these droplets they will be infected with the bacteria as well this is called droplet infection.  If two people with TB are in the same room together there is no risk of one affecting the other because they are both already infected by the bacteria, unlike placing someone without TB with a TB patient, that person may be at risk of inhaling the droplet and being infected.  

Heart failure is a condition in which the heart does not pump enough blood to meet the body’s demands (the heart does not pump blood the way it should) and an airborne infection isolation room is a single occupancy care space that’s designed to isolate airborne pathogens to a safe containment area, so there can only be one person in that room we cannot put the heart failure patient in there.  Patients in these rooms have serious illnesses that may pose a risk to hospital staff and these rooms are used to protect the public from the spread of these diseases.

Varicella also known as chicken pox, is a very contagious disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus, and pertussis also known as whooping cough is also a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis, so one cannot put two people with different highly contagious diseases in one room.

A que tipo de comunicacion celular se refiere, los factores de crecimiento son señales que secretan las celulas para estimular s
torisob [31]

Answer: Comunicación intracrina

Explanation:

La comunicación celular consta de un proceso en el que las células se comunican entre ellas y con el medio externo mediante señales físicas o químicas. Entonces, dichas células reciben, procesan y transmiten señales no solo con su entorno sino también consigo mismas. Las señales que se originan en el exterior de una célula que son agentes físicos pueden ser, por ejemplo, la presión mecánica, la luz, la temperatura, el voltaje, etc. Las señales químicas pueden ser moléculas como péptidos, gases, etc. Dichas moléculas de señalización pueden sintetizarse a partir de diversas vías biosintéticas y liberarse a través de transportes pasivos o activos. Estas señales van a ser detectadas por receptores, los cuales son proteínas en la superficie celular o en el interior de la célula que detectan las señales y producen una respuesta. Los receptores de la superficie celular suelen unirse a señales o ligandos extracelulares, lo que provoca un cambio conformacional en el receptor que le lleva a iniciar una actividad enzimática o a abrir o cerrar la actividad de un canal iónico para permitir o bloquear el transporte. Por otro lado, los receptores intracelulares, como los receptores nucleares, tienen un mecanismo diferente, como el cambio de sus propiedades de unión al ADN y la localización celular en el núcleo, regulando directamente la transcripción de genes y por lo tanto la regulando la expresión génica.

<u>La señalización celular puede producirse a corta o larga distancia, por lo que puede clasificarse como autocrina, yuxtacrina, intracrina, paracrina o endocrina.</u> La señalización autocrina implica que una célula secrete una hormona o un mensajero químico que se une a los receptores autocrinos de esa misma célula, lo que provoca cambios en la propia célula. En la señalización paracrina, una célula produce una señal para inducir cambios en las células cercanas, alterando el comportamiento de éstas. Las moléculas de señalización conocidas como factores paracrinos se difunden a una distancia relativamente corta (acción local), a diferencia de la señalización celular por factores endocrinos, donde las hormonas recorren distancias más largas a lo largo del cuerpo y a través del sistema circulatorio. La señalización yuxtácrina es un tipo de señalización entre células o entre una célula y la matriz extracelular que requiere un contacto estrecho, entonces se diferencia de la comunicación autócrina y endócrina en que estas últimas no requieren contacto. Y por último, la señalización intrácrina es un mecanismo de control del crecimiento que implica la acción directa de factores de crecimiento dentro de la célula. Algunos factores de crecimiento producen complejos factor/receptor en la superficie celular y son rápidamente internalizados por la célula en cuestión y translocados al núcleo sin degradación.

<u>Un factor de crecimiento es una sustancia natural capaz de estimular la proliferación celular, la curación de heridas y, en ocasiones, la diferenciación celular</u>. Por lo tanto, actúan como moléculas de señalización entre las células y pueden actuar sobre las mismas células que las producen y liberan. Entonces, si estos factores de crecimiento actúan sobre las mismas células que los secretan, se habla de un comunicación intrácrina.

Which of the following about the ozone layer is not true? a. The ozone layer is formed in the stratosphere. b. The ozone layer h
olga2289 [7]
The answer is "<span>c. Ozone in the troposphere is beneficial to living organisms."
because options a, b and d are true about ozone layer.
</span>
Ozone layer is the area of the upper atmosphere, between around 15 and 35 km over Earth's surface, containing generally high groupings of ozone particles (O₃). Roughly 90 percent of the environment's ozone happens in the stratosphere. The ozone layer successfully squares all sun oriented radiation of wavelengths under 290nm from achieving Earth's surface, including certain kinds of UV and different types of radiation that could harm or kill most living things.

stellarik [79]
Some viruses cause infected cells to <u>lyse. </u> Lysis is the dissolving of the cell by factors like viral, enzymic, or osmosis. Lysis in medical term also means a presence of symptoms of complicated or acute diseases. Example of this disease is the tumor lysis syndrome.
