Answer: Yes, if the patient was treated for drug abuse, alcoholism, sickle cell anemia or HIV
Explanation:
The increased amount of fibrous material is a gerontological consideration associated with the pancreas (Option a).
<h3>How is the pancreas in elderly people?</h3>
The pancreas in elderly people is characterized to have an excessive amount of connective fibrous tissue which may hamper the functioning of this organ as a progression of age.
Therefore, with this data, we can see that the pancreas in elderly people may be altered in its function due to the fibrous connective tissue.
Complete question:
Which is a gerontological consideration associated with the pancreas?
-Increased amount of fibrous material
-Increased bicarbonate output
-Increased rate of pancreatic secretion
-Increased calcium absorption

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.
The Scenario:
A nursing assistant has entered a scene where a blood spill has occurred. After ensuring the patient is safe, the nursing assistant dresses in personal protective equipment, and removes the visible blood with an absorbent material. The nursing assistant then throws the blood-soaked material into the trash can.
What the nursing assistant did wrong:
The nursing assistant did not call the lead nurse to report the incident prior to cleaning.
Answer:
Ensure that before use the mercury level is below 35 ∘C. Read the thermometer keeping the level of mercury along the line of sight.
