Answer:

The correct answer is a acyl-carnitine readily cross the mitochondrial inner membrane but the acyl CoA do not.

Explanation:

Fatty acids are activated to form fatty acyl CoA by the help of ATP and CoA SH.But the so formed Acyl CoA cannot cross or pass the inner mitochondrial membrane to enter the mitochondrial matrix to initiate beta oxidation of fatty acid.

To overcome this problem fatty acyl CoA is converted to acyl carnitine and the so formed acyl carnitine readily crosses the inner mitochondrial membrane and enters the mitochondrial matrix.

After an open reduction and internal fixation of a fractured hip, the nurse is helping a client to get out of bed into a chair.

PIT_PIT [208]

<span>I think the answer would be: instruct the client to bear most of the weight on the unaffected leg and pivot to the chair.
</span>
Hip is a complex and thin bone. Repairing it will be harder than big bones and it will be easier to break again. The client should try to not burden the fractured bone to reduce the risk. At least you need to give the bone time to heal themselves.
