the nurse discovers that an infusion of total parenteral nutrition (tpn) through a central line is empty, and a replacement bag

The nurse should Hang an intravenous infusion of 10% dextrose in water while waiting for the replacement bag

<h3>What is total parenteral nutrition (tpn) ?</h3>

A feeding technique that omits the gastrointestinal tract is called total parenteral nutrition (TPN). The majority of the nutrients the body requires are delivered through a vein in a particular mix. When a person cannot or shouldn't receive fluids or a feeding through their mouth, the technique is used.

TPN should not be abruptly stopped (particularly in patients taking insulin), since this could result in hypoglycemia. If, for whatever reason, the TPN solution runs out while a new bag is being prepared, hang D5W at the same rate of infusion until the new TPN bag is ready.

How do vaccines work? Do they work against viruses and bacteria? Why there<br> are so many vaccines.

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Vaccines train our immune systems to create proteins that fight disease, known as ‘antibodies’, just as would happen when we are exposed to a disease but – crucially – vaccines work without making us sick. Live, attenuated vaccines fight viruses and bacteria. These vaccines

contain a version of the living virus or bacteria that has been weakened

so that it does not cause serious disease in people with healthy immune

systems. Because live, attenuated vaccines are the closest thing to a

natural infection, they are good teachers for the immune system.

Examples of live, attenuated vaccines include measles, mumps, and

rubella vaccine (MMR) and varicella (chickenpox) vaccine. Even

though they are very effective, not everyone can receive these vaccines.

Children with weakened immune systems—for example, those who are

undergoing chemotherapy—cannot get live vaccines. Those are only some vaccines, of course not all vaccines inject a live virus into your body. And of course, there are so many vaccines because (unfortunately) there are so many diseases!

Why must cholesterol, although lipid-soluble, cross most membranes by means of receptor-mediated endocytosis or transporters? Pr

N76 [4]

Cholesterol, although lipid-soluble, cross most membranes by means of receptor-mediated endocytosis or transporters is given below

Propose a mechanism for co-transport of cholesterol through a plasma membrane is given below .

Explanation:

1.Cholesterol is a lipid-soluble molecule.If this is the only characteristic of the molecule so there will be no problem crossing the phospholipid bilayer due to its lipid solubility.

2.Cholesterol must cross most membranes by means of receptor-mediated endocytosis because it is a macromolecule.

3.Cholesterol functions to immobilise the outer surface of the membrane, reducing fluidity. It makes the membrane less permeable to very small water-soluble molecules that would otherwise freely cross. It functions to separate phospholipid tails and so prevent crystallisation of the membrane.

4.Most cholesterol is transported in the blood as cholesteryl esters in the form of lipid-protein particles known as low-density lipoproteins (LDL) (Figure 13-43). When a cell needs cholesterol for membrane synthesis, it makes transmembrane receptor proteins for LDL and inserts them into its plasma membrane
