A not very well-studied A&P student heard about a phenomenon called water intoxication and thought it sounded fun so she dec

ided to try it. She consumed a large amount of water in a short time (Don’t try this—water intoxication is often fatal.). Instead of feeling drunk, she felt nauseated, developed a severe headache, began to get confused, and then became unconscious. Her much more prepared A&P student roommate quickly realized the problem and called an ambulance. When the roommate told the Emergency Department doctor what had happened, the doctor quickly began administering IV (intravenous) fluids. Based on this information and your understanding of osmosis and tonicity, what type of IV fluid is the doctor likely administering to try to save the life of the student suffering from water intoxication?

If a plasma membrane is considered to be "selectively permeable," then........ 1. The plasma membrane allows some sustances to e
katrin [286]

Answer:

1. The plasma membrane allows some substances to enter or leave a cell more easily than others.

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is selectively permeable membrane that surrounds the cell cytoplasm and organelle of cell. The plasma membrane is selectively permeable because it allows some substance to pass through it more easily by simple diffusion and some substance through carrier and channel proteins.

The plasma membrane allows selective molecules to pass through it. Small and lipophilic molecules can cross the membrane by diffusion but large and ionic molecules require transport proteins. Some transport proteins need ATP energy to transport molecules across the membrane. Therefore the right answer is 1.

The nursing instructor explains to students that positive inotropic action affects the heart in which way?
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Positive inotropic effect means that it increases the contraction force of the heart, reducing the intracellular calcium level of the myocardium.

Explanation:

    Inotropism is a health science term to refer to the contraction capacity of the cardiac (myocardial) muscles. Inotropic action influences contractile force, velocity of  myocardial pressure development and ejection velocity.

  • Negative inotropic effect means contraction force decreases or decreases cardiac output
  • Positive inotropic effect means that it increases the contraction force of the heart, reducing the intracellular calcium level of the myocardium.

Positive chronotropic action increases

  • heart rate - tachycardia;
  • cardiac contraction force, both  atrio and ventricles);
  • conduction velocity in the atrioventricular node.
