B) Encouraging fluids and soft diet.
C) Giving antiemetic when nausea and vomiting occurs.
D) Avoiding mouth wash to prevent irritation of mouth ulcers.
The answer is B) Encouraging fluids and soft diet.
Gastrointestinal tract radiation therapy is used to cure gastrointestinal cancers.There is said to be some late effect of these radiation therapy which hasn't been studied yet. In these therapies patients tend to feel nauseous and vomiting. So the nurse should make sure that the patient has a diet according to it so he doesn't feel like that.

The E-site A) is found on the RNA polymerase enzyme. B) is responsible for the release of the tRNA. C) is found on the 35S polys

a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

B) is responsible for the release of the tRNA.

Explanation:

A transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) is an RNA molecule that connects a particular triplet of nucleotides or 'codon' of a messenger RNA (mRNA) to a particular amino acid during protein synthesis (translation) in the ribosomes. In a cell, tRNAs can be found in three different forms: aminoacyl-tRNAs, peptidyl-tRNAs, or deacylated tRNAs. Moreover, during translation, the tRNA binds to the ribosome at three different sites. The E-site (E for exit) refers to the final binding site for deacylated tRNAs in the ribosomes (i.e., before their dissociation from the ribosomes) during protein synthesis. The first binding site for tRNA in the ribosome is the A-site (A for aminoacyl), while the second binding site is called P-site (P for peptidyl). These three sites are oriented in inverse sense (5' to 3' E-P-A) with respect to the mRNA.
