Answer:

The mechanism of by which kidney forms dilute or concentrated urine is based on the amount of ADH( Antidiuretic hormone) present in the blood. Collecting duct have receptors for the binding of ADH hormone.

Formation of concentrated Urine:                                                        

When the ADH hormone binds to the receptors present on the cells of collecting duct it open the water channels present on it. Once the water channel is opened the duct becomes permeable to water and reabsorption of water takes place in the body making urine concentrated.

Formation of diluted urine:                                                                    

When ADH is not secreted in the blood, the collecting duct remains impermeable to water molecules which results in production of diluted urine. This happens when blood contains sufficient water.

Compounding a sterile IV medication must be done in the pharmacy
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:  The answer is C - clean room.  

Explanation:  You prepare a sterile IV medication in a clean room.  A fume hood is used in a kitchen.  You prepare a sterile IV medication in a clean room, ISO class 7 and inside that room is an ISO class 5 area - either an area that achieves this or inside a primary engineering control.  A PEC is a laminar air flow hood - either horizontal or vertical.  Or, if you do not have an ISO class 7 area, you can use a biological safety cabinet or Compounding Aseptic (CAI) and Containment Isolators (CACI) that can be certified to use a room that is less than ISO class 7.  The only reason you would ever prepare a sterile IV medication on a counter is in an emergency situation for "immediate use."  Immediate use is defined as the entire contents will be used within 60 minutes of the preparation.

The pO2 of air in an alveolus is ________________ that of the pO2 in deoxygentaed blood in a pulmonary capillary
Zanzabum

Answer:

The correct answer is a. greater than

Explanation:

The partial pressure of oxygen in alveolus is greater than partial pressure of oxygen in deoxygenated blood in a pulmonary capillary and this concentration difference is important for the movement of air(oxygen) from the alveolus to the pulmonary capillary because gases move from higher concentration to lower concentration.

By this process the oxygenated blood reaches to the heart from lungs and heart then pump this oxygenated blood to other body tissues.The partial pressure of oxygen in alveolus is 104 mmHg and in venus blood is 40 mmHg.

A nurse in the intensive care unit is responding to a low-pressure limit mechanical ventilator alarm. The nurse will assess for
slega [8]

The nurse will assess for inadequate tracheostomy tube cuff inflation while responding to a low-pressure limit mechanical ventilator alarm.

  • An alarm for excessive airway pressure indicates an issue with compliance or resistance.
  • To stop the alarm and make sure the patient receives the predetermined number of breaths from the ventilator, turn up the upper limit on the alarm parameter first.

An audible and/or visual alert will trigger if the pressure inside the breathing circuit falls below the Low Airway Pressure Alarm limit specified on the ventilator. Low pressure alerts can be caused by, among other things:

  • The patient's connection to the ventilator circuit breaks.
  • inadequate tracheostomy tube cuff inflation
  • nasal cushions, prongs, or invasive non-masks that don't fit well
  • Circuit and tube connections that are loose
  • The ventilator cannot supply the patient with as much air as they need.
