Answer:
Hormones that act on the target cells to increase metabolism are Triiodothyronine (T₃) and Thyroxine (T₄).
Explanation:
The hormones triiodothyronine (T₃) and thyroxine (T₄) are the active forms of thyroid hormone, responsible for increasing cell metabolism.
Both T₃ and T₄are produced by the thyroid gland, in response to the pituitary hormone TSH. T₄ is more abundant but less powerful than T₃
Thyroid hormones are responsible for controlling cell metabolism, since their increase determines an increase in metabolism, and their deficiency slows it down.
The other options are not correct because:
- <em><u>Thyrotropin Releasing Hormone (TRH)</u></em><em> is produced by the hypothalamus to activate the production of TSH in the pituitary gland.</em>
- <em><u>Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)</u></em><em> is a pituitary hormone in charge of activating the production of T₃ and T₄ in the thyroid.</em>
- <em><u>Adrenocorticotropic Hormone (ACTH)</u></em><em> is produced by the pituitary gland to stimulate the production of hormones in the adrenal cortex.</em>
Answer:
-Common side effects of chloramphenicol include:
-not enough red blood cells produced (aplastic anemia)
-bone marrow suppression.
-diarrhea.
-inflammation of the small intestine and the colon (enterocolitis)
-accumulation of chloramphenicol especially in newborns (gray syndrome)
-headache.
-nausea.
-nightmares.
Answer: It can cause higher mortality rates, but also reduce stroke.
Explanation:
Studies show that atenolol can reduce stroke risk, but not mortality rates, heart attack rates, and cardiovascular events in the elderly.
D. What site to obtain the temperatures
Explanation:
An individual care plan of a patient by a nurse or a resident will contain all the basic information necessary to provide an individualized care plan for that patient.
Patient’s vital signs including body temperature are assessed on a routine basis and recorded in the nursing/resident’s care plan.
In an individual nursing/resident’s care plan, the temperature will mostly be recorded like Temperature: 101.40F (orally). This clearly mentions the recorded value and site of recording the temperature.
Recording the temperature accurately, precisely, consistently and diligently is very important because it is a vital parameter which is used to decide treatment modalities.
Hence, the site and method of measurement should be selected appropriately and used consistently and recorded in the nursing care plan to ensure measurement accuracy and patient’s safety.
