The correct answer is C-reactive protein or CRP.
CRP is one of the most important marker for systemic inflammation. Another equally important marker for systemic inflammation is the erythrocyte sedimentation rate or the ESR. CRP and ESR are acute phase reactants that are synthesized in the liver by hepatocytes in response to proinflammatory cytokines (i.e. IL-2, TNF, IL-6).
The nurse must assess the patient's pain intensity before and after administering an opioid analgesic. The respiratory rate and level of consciousness need to be assessed because respiratory depression and sedation are two adverse effects of opioid analgesics. Seizure activity, electrolytes, liver function, blood glucose level, and mental status may need to be assessed during opioid analgesic therapy <span>related to adverse effects. Correct answer:)</span>
The answer is <span>Chemical digestion involves the breaking down of food with enzymes; </span><span>mechanical digestion is breaking down food by chewing and tearing with teeth.
Mechanical digestion means breaking down food mechanically. By chewing and tearing with teeth, food breaks down into smaller parts and no enzymes are used. Chemical digestion means breaking down food in a chemical manner. This is achieved by secreting enzymes, which break down chemical bond between food molecules.</span>
