Answer: The home RN should visit the 30-year-old client with an exacerbation of multiple sclerosis being treated with cortisone via a centrally placed venous catheter

Explanation: The Registered Nurse should attend to the client with the topmost priority which is characterised as

-patients that are not stable or

-patients that are on life support that needs constant care.

The 30-year-old with an exacerbation of

multiple sclerosis being treated with cortisone via a centrally placed venous catheter us of topmost priority. This is because multiple sclerosis is a life threatening case in which the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. The treatment involves the use of cortisone which should be closely monitored.

Analysing the other options given,

A) the 5 months old baby is stable since the baby has been discharged and placed in amoxicillin liquid suspension.

B)The 50-year-old with multiple stage 3 & 4 pressure ulcers requiring dressing changes can be done later. It's not an emergency state.

D)The 78-year-old who had a gastrectomy three weeks ago with a PEG tube is stabilised.

Answer:HIPAA Violations

Explanation:Ethically and legally this impedes my work because it can put the patient in danger as well as others if personal information is found out and disclosed. It can literally ruin a person and the fines are massive for breaches. It has happened to me before and I had to report a coworker to the board for it, so that my license was not impacted. They announced personal test results in the lobby and not in a private room.

At rest, most of the body's blood supply resides in the pulmonary loop.<br> a. True<br> b. False
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The answer to the statement: At rest, most of the body´s blood supply resides in the pulmonary loop, would be, B: False.

Explanation:

The circulatory system never stops working. Pumping of blood, transportation of oxygen, nutrients and water to and from tissues is a process that does not end, even during sleep. The only moment when this process does not happen, is in death. However, a good question is, where does the blood go, or stay, when the body is not active, like for example, during sleep. And the answer is that most of it will rest on the systemic veins and venules and will slowly circulate back to the heart, but at a much lower rate than when the body activates itself. However, what is not true is that blood will reside mostly in the pulmonary loop, because this loop does not have the capacity to store that much blood.

What type of structure in nerve cells must grow in order for sensory information to be relayed to the spinal cord?
larisa86 [58]

For sensory information to be relayed the nerve cells should have an axon.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Nerve cells or neurons play a critical role in transmitting signals from various sense organs of the body to the spinal cord where it is processed.
  • Neurons have different parts - the dendrites which are tiny branches that receive incoming signals from the body, the nucleus, and the axon.
  • The axon is a long fiber that is covered by a protective layer called myelin sheath. It is this structure of the nerve cell or neuron that helps transmit signals to the Central Nervous System of which the spinal cord is a part.
