Answer: To treat high blood sugar levels that are caused by a type of diabetes mellitus or sugar diabetes called type 2 diabetes.

Explanation:

Metformin and Glipizide combination is used to treat high blood sugar levels that are caused by a type of diabetes mellitus or sugar diabetes called type 2 diabetes. Normally, after having a meal, the pancreas releases insulin to help the body store excess sugar for later use. This process occurs during normal digestion of food. In type 2 diabetes, the body does not work properly to store the excess sugar and the sugar remains in the bloodstream. Chronic high blood sugar can lead to serious health problems in the future. Proper diet is the first step in managing type 2 diabetes but often medicines are needed to help the body. With two actions, the combination of glipizide and metformin helps your body cope with high blood sugar. Glipizide stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas, directing the body to store blood sugar.

Metformin has three different actions:

i. It slows the absorption of sugar in the small intestine.

ii. It also stops the liver from converting stored sugar into blood sugar.

iii. It helps the body use the natural insulin more efficiently.

Metformin, itself improves glucose metabolism of statin-treated patients with impaired fasting glucose. Therefore, the addition of metformin to atorvastatin therapy may counteract the adverse effect of atorvastatin on glucose metabolism.

andreyandreev [35.5K]

The nurse determines that the teaching is effective when the students state that the preterm newborn has greater surface area in proportion to weight. The correct option is D.

<h3>What is a preterm newborn?</h3>

Preterm babies are those born early before the 37th week of pregnancy. Preterm birth is split into subcategories based on gestational age: exceptionally premature less than 28 weeks extremely premature 28 to 32 weeks

Premature babies may experience more health problems at conception and later in life than full-term babies.

Premature babies are more likely to have long-term intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as issues with their lungs, brain, eyes, and other organs.

When the educators state that the preterm newborn has a larger surface area in proportion to weight, the nurse knows the teaching is effective.

Thus, the correct option is D.

Why might enlargement of the prostate gland affect urination?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
“The prostate is a gland that produces the fluid that carries sperm during ejaculation. The prostate gland surrounds the urethra, the tube through which urine passes out of the body.

Male reproductive anatomy
An enlarged prostate means the gland has grown bigger. Prostate enlargement happens to almost all men as they get older.

An enlarged prostate is often called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is not cancer, and it does not raise your risk for prostate cancer.

Enlarged prostate glandWatch this video about:
Enlarged prostate gland
Causes
The actual cause of prostate enlargement is unknown. Factors linked to aging and changes in the cells of the testicles may have a role in the growth of the gland, as well as testosterone levels. Men who have had their testicles removed at a young age (for example, as a result of testicular cancer) do not develop BPH.

Also, if the testicles are removed after a man develops BPH, the prostate begins to shrink in size.

Some facts about prostate enlargement:

The likelihood of developing an enlarged prostate increases with age.
BPH is so common that it has been said all men will have an enlarged prostate if they live long enough.
A small amount of prostate enlargement is present in many men over age 40. More than 90% of men over age 80 have the condition.
No risk factors have been identified, other than having normally-functioning testicles.

Explain why Balcetis and her team came up with the slogan, "Keep your eyes on the prize."
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Balcetis explains that when people are in shape, they are more likely to view an exercise as achievable. More important than fitness, however, was individuals’ motivation to exercise. Those who were motivated to exercise saw a finish line as closer, than those who were unmotivated.

In a second study, Balcetis experimented with how changing one’s perspective on an exercise, can help to make it seem more doable. Balcetis presented a finish line at the end of a moderate sized path. Her control group looked around their settings as they normally would, and then estimated how far away the finish line was. The experimental group was instructed to look directly at the finish line and to try to eliminate other objects in their point of view. The results: the group that kept their eyes on the prize estimated the finish line to be thirty percent closer than those in the control group.

Last, Balcetis examined how perspective can help directly improve ease and efficiency. She had subjects try a moderately difficult exercise of walking a fair distance with weights. Again, one group kept their eyes on the finish line, while the other group proceeded normally. Those who focused on the finish line, felt that the exercise was fifteen percent easier than those in the control group. The focused group also moved twenty-three percent faster.

So what do all these findings mean? The way we look at exercise can make a big difference in how hard it feels and how hard we work at it. As Balcetis says, “keeping your eyes on the prize, may be an additional strategy you can use to promote a healthy lifestyle.” Well any strategy that makes exercise seem easier and gets me working harder, is one I’m definitely down for.
