Answer:

Aldosterone affects the body's ability to regulate blood pressure. It sends the signal to organs, like the kidney and colon, that can increase the amount of sodium the body sends into the bloodstream or the amount of potassium released in the urine.

Generally, when aldosterone increases, serum potassium decreases, because it promotes secretion in the distal tubules.

the nurse is caring for a client admitted with peritonitis. which finding in the medical record is most likely the cause
hammer [34]

The finding of bowel obstruction in the medical record is most likely the cause.

Intestinal motility is frequently reduced by peritonsillitis, and gas-filled intestinal distension results. It may result in sepsis, multiple organ failure syndromes, or a deadly intestinal blockage if untreated. Given that peritonitis can quickly progress to potentially deadly consequences including sepsis and septic shock, which result in a sharp drop in blood pressure, organ failure, and death, it's critical to have a prompt diagnosis and start receiving the right treatment.

Infection is what causes peritonitis. A hole in your GI (gastrointestinal) tract might allow bacteria to penetrate the lining of your stomach. If you have a burst appendix or a hole in your colon, this may occur. Tertiary peritonitis, an infection or dehiscence at the site of the operation, enterocutaneous fistula, abdominal compartment syndrome, and enteric insufficiency are all peritonitis complications.

Answer:

C) Check the outside of the body for injuries, tattoos, marks, look for identification

Explanation:

I don't have experience in forensics so my answer is mostly based off common sense. You'd want to check the outside of the body before cutting and looking in the insides of a body.
