Answer:

The answer to the question: Another name for urinary tract infection is:___, would be: cystitis.

Explanation:

Urinary tract infections (UTIs), are also known as cystitis. These infections are most commonly caused by colonization of the urinary tract by bacteria from the GI tract due to wrong hygiene procedures, certain sexual activities, among other reasons, and sometimes, they can be repetitive and very difficult to treat. Cystitis, or unrinary tract infections are most common in women, given the closeness to the anus, and also, because of the use of tight clothing, and certain pads that enhance heat, humidity and also access from the anus to the urethra. Once the bacteria are inside the urethra, they ascend, invade and colonize mostly the urethra and bladder, and thus cause this form of infection. A more complicated form is a renal infection, in which, the bacteria that originally colonized the lower urinary tract, ascend so far as to reach the kidneys themselves.

When working with a client who has end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and is receiving peritoneal dialysis, the concept of diffusion

Aneli [31]

Answer:the concept of diffusion can be explained by option A ("If your potassium level is high, then K+particles will move from your peritoneal cavity into the dialysis solution, where the concentration of K+is lower")

Explanation:

Diffusion is defined as a passive process by which molecules moves from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration in other to attain a uniform concentration.The rate of diffusion depends on how many particles are available for diffusion, the kinetic movement of the particles, and the number and size of the openings in the membrane through which the molecules or ions can move.

Dialysis is the clinical procedures carried out to purify the blood of patients with kidney disease such as end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The potassium levels are usually high in ESRD patients,during dialysis the K+particles will move from your peritoneal cavity into the dialysis solution, where the concentration of K+is lower. Hope this helps. Thanks.
