Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "Deficiencies in Vitamin B12 can lead to pernicious anemia".

Pernicious anemia is a medical condition at which the body could not make enough healthy red blood cells because it lacks vitamin B-12. The lack of vitamin B-12 makes that red blood cells became bigger, which makes them inefficient for oxygen transportation, producing anemia in the patient. This condition is easily treated with the intake of vitamin B-12 pills or shots

nika2105 [10]

The question is incorrect. The correct question is as follows:

The nurse is orienting a new RN in the care of a patient with respiratory distress due to emphysema. The patient is being treated with O2 via a Venturi mask with 35% oxygen. Which statement by the new RN indicates that teaching has been effective, when the nurse questions the new RN about the use of the Venturi mask?

a. "A nasal cannula will dry the mucous membranes and cause an increased risk of infection."

b. "Her alveoli cannot absorb higher levels of O2 because of the emphysema."

c. "Her alveoli have been damaged and may rupture with higher doses of O2."

d. "Her respiratory center requires low O2 concentration to stimulate breathing."

Answer:

Her respiratory center requires low O2 concentration to stimulate breathing."

Explanation:

COPD ( Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) may be defined as the combination of the different lung disease that might create problem in the respiration process.

The venturi mask is used in the medical condition to provide the proper amount of oxygen to the patient. In emphysema the individual suffered from the hypoxemia means low oxygen level in the body. The low oxygen is required to the patient and high oxygen level will disturb the normal process of breathing.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).

What is the difference between the ligamentum arteriosum and the ductus arteriosus?
Goshia [24]
In fetal life, the lungs are not expanded, so most of the blood from the right ventricle is shunted from the pulmonary artery to the aorta through the patent ductus arteriosus. With a few breaths the lungs expand, and blood flows from right ventricle to pulmonary artery into the lungs. Withdrawal of circulating prostaglandin from the mother plus bradykinins released from the expanding lung of the infant cause the ductus to close over a few minutes to hours. The closed ductus remains as the ligamentum arteriosum.

Punnett Squares are used by geneticists to determine the likely genotypes of the offspring of two parents.
PilotLPTM [1.2K]
That's correct - it's a square where on one axis, the paternal allele (allele = one of the possible forms of the same gene), and on another the maternal allele is listed. Often, it's also indicated whether an allele is recessive or dominant.

Then, in the table that results, all the possible "combinations" of allele between the paternal and maternal party are created. If you count how often a certain combination appears, it indicates the likelihood of that combination.
See the picture (though it is directly from Wikipedia, please note). The likelihood of BB is 25%, of Bb is 50%, and of bb 25%.
