A client is receiving somatropin. the nurse should monitor <u>Thyroid-stimulating hormone level </u>
<u />
- Somatropin injections are used to treat growth hormone insufficiency in both adults and children. Growth hormone is a natural hormone produced by your body.
- Children with specific diseases that hinder normal growth and development can potentially benefit from somatropin injections to accelerate their growth.
- The U.S. Food and Medicine Administration (FDA) has licensed the drug somatropin for a number of conditions, but it is mostly used to treat growth problems in children and growth hormone insufficiency in adults.
- For the purpose of treating HIV-related cachexia or wasting in patients with the virus, somatropin is FDA-approved under the trade name Serostim.
- Somatropin may be used off-label to treat the lipodystrophy syndrome linked to HIV.

- <u>Intestine that protrudes from the anus</u> Straining to have a bowel movement can cause a small amount of the rectum to stretch and protrude from the anus.
Answer: Mutations in the GALT, GALK1, and GALE genes cause galactosemia.
Explanation: Galactosemia is a disorder that affects how the body processes a simple sugar called galactose. A small amount of galactose is present in many foods. It is primarily part of a larger sugar called lactose, which is found in all dairy products and many baby formulas. The signs and symptoms of galactosemia result from an inability to use galactose to produce energy.Classic galactosemia, also known as type I, is the most common and most severe form of the condition. If infants with classic galactosemia are not treated promptly with a low-galactose diet, life-threatening complications appear within a few days after birth. Affected infants typically develop feeding difficulties, a lack of energy (lethargy), a failure to gain weight and grow as expected (failure to thrive), yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (jaundice), liver damage, and abnormal bleeding. Other serious complications of this condition can include overwhelming bacterial infections (sepsis) and shock. Affected children are also at increased risk of delayed development, clouding of the lens of the eye (cataract), speech difficulties, and intellectual disability. Females with classic galactosemia may develop reproductive problems caused by an early loss of function of the ovaries (premature ovarian insufficiency). Galactosemia type II (also called galactokinase deficiency) and type III (also called galactose epimerase deficiency) cause different patterns of signs and symptoms. Galactosemia type II causes fewer medical problems than the classic type. Affected infants develop cataracts but otherwise experience few long-term complications. The signs and symptoms of galactosemia type III vary from mild to severe and can include cataracts, delayed growth and development, intellectual disability, liver disease, and kidney problems.
Answer:
a pulmonary embolism.
Explanation:
A sudden onset of difficulty breathing, sharp chest pain and cyanosis that persists despite supplemental oxygen is most consistent with<u> a pulmonary embolism.</u>
Answer:
The Km value (an indicator of the affinity of the transporter protein for glucose molecules; a low Km value suggests a high affinity) of the GLUT1 and GLUT3 proteins is 1mM; therefore GLUT1 and GLUT3 have a high affinity for glucose and uptake from the bloodstream is constant.
