Answer:

This tool is divided into three sections representing the principles in the Medication practice standard: authority, competence, and safety.

Explanation:

Rights of Medication Administration

1. Right patient

Check the name of the order and the patient.
Use 2 identifiers.

Ask patient to identify himself/herself.

2. Right medication

Check the medication label.
Check the order.

3. Right dose

Check the order.
Confirm the appropriateness of the dose using a current drug reference.

4. Right route

Again, check the order and appropriateness of the route ordered.
Confirm that the patient can take or receive the medication by the ordered route.

5. Right time

Check the frequency of the ordered medication.
Double-check that you are giving the ordered dose at the correct time.
Confirm when the last dose was given.

6. Right documentation

Document administration AFTER giving the ordered medication.

Chart the time, route, and any other specific information as necessary.

7. Right reason

Confirm the rationale for the ordered medication. What is the patient’s history? Why is he/she taking this medication?

8. Right response

Make sure that the drug led to the desired effect. If an antihypertensive was given, has his/her blood pressure improved?

Does the patient verbalize improvement in depression while on an antidepressant?

Give two reasonsthat may account for the continuous firing of a PostsynapticNeuron.

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

1.Continuous diffusion of negatively charged ions into the postsynaptic neurons , which leads to continuous reversal of charges (hyperpolarization) and therefore continuous firing of action potential

2. Inhibition of hydrolytic enzymes e.g (acetycholinesterase) that metabolize activities of cholinergic neurotransmitters e,g acetycholine at post synaptic cleft. leading to firing of action potential.

Explanation:

Neuron whose dendrites transmits action potential to the neuromuscular junction is called presynaptic neuron. While neuron that transmit action potential away from the neuronal synaptic junction, or from the neuromuscular junction to the cell body of adjacent neuron or to effectors (gland and muscles) are called post synaptic neuron.

The more negatively charged ions that diffused into the post synsptic neuron, the more depolarization, and the greater the frequency of action potential produced

The inhibition of activities of hydrolytic enzyme which metabolize cholinergic neurotransmitter leads to continuous excitatory activities of cholinergic neurotransmitters on the receptors at the postsynaptic neuron, and the more action potential

You assay cell surface oligosaccharides from a blood sample. After determining the composition of the oligosaccharides relative

RSB [31]

Answer:

Here the fucose is linked to galactose by alpha1,2 glycosidic linkage.

Explanation:

Fucose is a deoxy sugar consist of 6 carbon atoms which means fucose is a hexose sugar.

Fucose does not contain -OH group at C6 carbon that"s why it is termed as deoxy sugar.

Fucose can link to both Nactylglucosame by alpha-1,6 glycosidic linkage and to galactose by alpha-1, glycosidic linkage generates the H antigen.

As donor is blood type B that means fucose is linked to galactoseof H antigen by alpha 1,2glycisidic linkage.

What cell parts are common to all of these cells? Use complete sentences.

Natalka [10]

Answer:

between an animal cell and a plant cell there are some parts that are similar and carry out the same function like:

both have a cell membrane which selects what goes in the cell.

both have cytoplasm which holds the protoplasm(the living part of the cell)

both have a nucleus which carries out all cell activities and holds threads of DNA called chromosomes

both have a mitochondria which is the power house of the cell

both have golgi bodies which modify and carry proteins from sites of synthesis to sites of reaction

I hope this helps
