The question is incomplete, the complete question is:
A client with myasthenia gravis improves and is discharged from the hospital. The discharge medications include pyridostigmine bromide (Mestinon) 10 mg every six hours. The nurse evaluates that the drug regimen is understood when the client says, "I should:
1
Take the medication on an empty stomach."
2
Set an alarm so I take the medication on time."
3
Take my pulse rate before taking the medication."
4
Monitor for an increase in blood pressure after taking the medication."
Answer:
The correct answer is statement 2.
Explanation:
Pyridostigmine refers to an essential drug, which must be consumed on time, as a late or missed dose can lead to extreme neuromuscular and respiratory consequences or even death. Pyridostigmine should be consumed with a small concentration of food in order to inhibit gastric irritation.
It is not essential to take the pulse rate prior to taking the medication. Pyridostigmine may result in hypotension, however, not hypertension, which is not an indication of cholinergic crisis.
Explanation:
Sediment discharge was historically approximately 270 million cubic meters/year of suspended load and 130 million cubic meters/year of bedload. This has decreased 80% since 1850 and can be divided into three periods: historical period (pre 1900), pre-dam period (1932-1952), and post dam (1963-1982). Suspended sediment loads declined 43% between the historical and pre-dam and 51% from pre-dam to post-dam periods. The size of sediment also decreased drastically including a 72% decrease in the sand fraction. Most of this is due to dams on the tributaries acting as sediment traps primarily for the coarser sediments. Large-scale land clearing for agriculture contributed to increased sediment loads in the historic period.
Answer:
The monomers of DNA are individual nucleotides: cytosine, guanine, adenine, and thiamine, (A, T, C, G, respectively). Since DNA is a double-stranded molecule, each nucleotide has a match that chemically interacts with it to form nucleotide pairs
Explanation:
The statement that describes the difference between the 2 isotopes of nitrogen would be the last set.
Nitrogen-14 has 7 electrons, 7 protons, and 7 neutrons
Nitrogen-15 has 7 electrons, 7 protons, and 8 neutrons.
Answer:
Euhaline ⇒ Polyhaline ⇒ Mesohaline ⇒ Oligohaline
Explanation:
Let's first define each of these levels:
- Polyhaline: a category of salinity that has medium-high levels of salt
- Mesohaline: a category of salinity that has medium levels of salt
- Oligohaline: a category of salinity that has low levels of salt
- Euthaline: a category of salinity that has high levels of salt
Now, we can order these in decreasing order of salinity:
Euhaline ⇒ Polyhaline ⇒ Mesohaline ⇒ Oligohaline
