The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

A client with myasthenia gravis improves and is discharged from the hospital. The discharge medications include pyridostigmine bromide (Mestinon) 10 mg every six hours. The nurse evaluates that the drug regimen is understood when the client says, "I should:

1

Take the medication on an empty stomach."

2

Set an alarm so I take the medication on time."

3

Take my pulse rate before taking the medication."

4

Monitor for an increase in blood pressure after taking the medication."

Answer:

The correct answer is statement 2.

Explanation:

Pyridostigmine refers to an essential drug, which must be consumed on time, as a late or missed dose can lead to extreme neuromuscular and respiratory consequences or even death. Pyridostigmine should be consumed with a small concentration of food in order to inhibit gastric irritation.  

It is not essential to take the pulse rate prior to taking the medication. Pyridostigmine may result in hypotension, however, not hypertension, which is not an indication of cholinergic crisis.

How would you expect the number of mitochondria in a cell to be related to the amount of active transport it carries out?
OverLord2011 [107]
The greater the amount of active transport carried out by a cell, the greater the amount of mitochondria would be found in the cell.

Active transport uses energy. Mitochondria undergoes aerobic respiration to release large amounts of energy. If the cell is found to be lacking in energy needed for active transport, the cell would adapt by synthesizing more mitochondrion to ensure that it's demand of energy is met.
