Answer: d. none of the above

Explanation:

The respiratory membrane is the membrane which separates the air inside the alveoli from the pulmonary capillaries. The types of respiratory membranes includes the alveoli membrane, the capillary membrane and the basement membrane. The respiratory membrane is usually very thin. But it becomes thick due to the increase in the fluid content, which actually forces the gases to diffuse through the membrane and the fluid. Also the pulmonary diseases can also cause the membrane to become thick.

Answer: Oxygen Deprivation

Explanation:

The thickening of the respiratory membranes may result in the oxygen deprivation. The function of membrane is to help in gaseous exchange.

The carbon dioxide is removed out of the body and oxygen is inhaled inside. Thickening of the membrane will reduce the ability to exchange gas which will make the body deprive of oxygen.

There are may diseases in which the thickening of the respiratory membranes takes place.Example: pulmonary fibrosis.

a nurse is providing client education for a client with peptic ulcer disease secondary to chronic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory
Ierofanga [76]

Misoprostol protects the gastric mucosa (stomach's lining) would be the most important information from the nurse to the patient with peptic ulcer disease.

Misoprostol, like prostaglandins, is a synthetic prostaglandin that protects the stomach lining or the gastric mucosa. NSAIDs reduce prostaglandin production and make patients more prone to peptic ulcers.

Misoprostol does not reduce gastric acid, improve gastric emptying, or increase lower esophageal sphincter pressure.

Gastric mucosa is a layer of gastric mucosa that contains sweat glands and gastric cavities. In humans, it is about 1 mm thick and the surface is smooth, soft and velvety.

It is composed of simple columnar epithelium, lamina propria, and muscularis mucosal layer.

Peptic ulcer occurs when acid in the digestive tract eats up the stomach or the interior of the small intestine.

Acid can create painful open sores that can bleed. The digestive tract is usually surrounded by a layer of mucus that protects it from acids.
