Answer: This is TRUE for me. Osteoporosis is a preventable disease.
Explanation:
In this condition, bone density ( the amount of bone tissue) is reduced because it's deposition does not keep pace with resorption. Although the bone is adequately mineralised, it is fragile and microscopically abnormal, with loss of internal structure.
Peak bone mass occurs around 35 years and then gradually declines in both sexes. Lowered oestrogen levels after the menopause are associated with a period of accelerated bone loss in women. Thereafter bone density in women is less than in men for any given age. That is why in North America, one-third of all women experience fractures because of this disease, amounting to about 2 million bone fractures per year.
Common features of osteoporosis are:
--> skeletal deformity: gradual loss of height with age, caused by compression of vertebrae.
--> bone pain
--> fractures: especially of the hip ( neck of femur), wrist and vertebrae.
It is TRUE for me that some risk factors can't be changed ( which is the low oestrogen levels that occur after menopause in women) but others, such as poor calcium intake, can.
Exercise and Calcium intake during childhood and adolescence are important in determining eventual bone mass of an individual and in preventing risk of osteoporosis in later life.
Answer: I got eight hours of sleep and ate a healthy breakfast. Therefore, I am going to have a great day.
Explanation:
An argument refers to a series of statements which are referred to as the premises which is used in determining the truth of the conclusion.
An argument is a set of statements, such that some of the statements provide support for another statement. With regards to the question, the argument is "I got eight hours of sleep and ate a healthy breakfast. Therefore, I am going to have a great day".
Answer:
The correct answer is option D.
Explanation:
The vasoconstriction or the narrowing of the blood vessels regulate the filtration rate of the glomerulus. The afferent arteriole vasoconstriction decreases the flow of blood to the glomerulus thus, decreases the filtration rate
The vasoconstriction of the efferent arteriole increases the glomerular filtration rate due to the increase in the blood level in the glomerular capillaries.
Thus, option D is the correct option.
Answer:
The correct answer is a. elevated ADH levels
Explanation:
The function of ADH is to regulate the excretion of water from kidneys. As Dan has been lost in the desert for 2 days his body must be dehydrated and in stress which gives signal to hypothalamus gland to increase ADH level.
Once ADH level is increased his kidney starts reabsorbing as much water as it can preventing his body to become dehydrated and reduce his urine amount.
So the correct answer is a. elevated ADH levels
A client often has fears about leaving the secure, cared-for environment of the health care facility. This client has a fear about not being able to care for himself at home and of not being able to handle the tube feedings at home. A therapeutic communication statement such as "Tell me more about . . ." often leads to valuable information about the client and his concerns.
