A patient is brought to the hospital unconscious and is a known diabetic patient. The medic was unable to get a bedside glucose

reading. Upon analysis, the laboratorian got a glucose reading of 800++ mg/dL. The ++ means the concentration is higher than the analyzer can read. As a laboratorian, explain how you would do a 1/2 dilution and what the patients actual result is if the analyzer reports a 459 mg/dL sugar following the dilution.

Answer: 918 mg/dl would be the actual blood glucose level. 459 X 2 = 918.

The lab technician adds equal amounts of the plasma sample to an equal amount of the dilution, ie 1:1.

When the nurse describes the duct that carries the ovum from the ovary to the uterus, what is the nurse discussing? the:
zimovet [89]

The nurse is discussing about fallopian tube. One of two long, slender tubes that connect the ovaries to the uterus are called fallopian tubes.

<h3>What is fallopian tube?</h3>

One of two long, slender tubes that connect the ovaries to the uterus are called fallopian tubes. Eggs pass from the ovaries, through the fallopian tubes, to the uterus.

Fallopian tubes are an important passageway for an egg and a sperm to meet and for a fertilized egg (embryo) to make its way to your uterus. The health of  fallopian tubes impacts one's fertility.  Blocked or damaged fallopian tubes can make it difficult for individuals \ and couples to become pregnant.

The fallopian tubes play a crucial role in the interaction between an egg and a sperm as well as the journey of a fertilized egg (embryo) to the uterus. Your fertility is influenced by the condition of your fallopian tubes.

A single fallopian tube can serve two functions, despite the fact that women typically have two fallopian tubes, which are both utilized to move the developed egg from the ovary to the uterus (hoping to meet a healthy sperm along the route..). (more on that below).

If you are drawing blood on an elderly patient with a history of collapsed veins, you should try to collect the blood sample wit
larisa [96]

The above statement is true and suggestive of the theories relating to venipuncture.

How is blood drawn from the elderly?

Elderly people frequently have medical issues that make blood collection challenging, such as dementia, hearing loss, arthritis, and atherosclerosis.

Additionally, as we age, the skin typically becomes drier and looser; the muscles generally get smaller, making it easier for veins to roll; and they are also more susceptible to hypothermia.

Most significantly, during venipuncture, their veins become less elastic and more susceptible to injuring or collapsing.

Blood collection on the elderly must be done safely, which requires appropriate planning and changes to the normal venipuncture process.

The following are some suggestions for doing venipuncture successfully on an older patient.

Selecting the proper equipment

The use of lower gauge needles lessens the risk of harm to the elderly patient's delicate, small veins, which commonly collapse.

• ARM VEINS: For small or challenging arm veins, a smaller 22-gauge straight needle (black cap) is recommended.

• HAND VEINS: A winged blood collection set with a 23-gauge needle, commonly known as the butterfly with light blue wings, is preferable for hand veins because it makes it easier for the phlebotomist to regulate access to delicate veins.

The vacuum tube holder on this butterfly is readily connected using a Luer adapter. A puncture is initiated on a patient who is elderly.

Hence, the above-given statement is true.
