Answer:

Carefully monitoring the nasogastric tube to ensure that the tube is patent and the suction is working.

Explanation:

Ensuring that the nasogastric tube is patent and that the suction is working properly are priorities for the postoperative client to prevent retention of gastric secretions that may lead to abdominal distention, nausea, vomiting, and further serious complications. Advancing the tube to the original insertion depth if the tube becomes dislodged is not recommended. Improper reinsertion may result in the aspiration of gastric contents. Vigorous irrigation of the nasogastric tube, even if clogged, is not recommended because this can cause damage to the gastric mucosa. Finally, the presence of bright red gastric aspirant in the suction canister for the first 24 hours after surgery is a normal finding in the postoperative period.

How does the digestive system break down small proteins into amino acids? *
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Digestive system breakdown small proteins into amino acids by chemical digestion using enzymes (option B).

Explanation:

One of the main functions of the digestive system is to degrade food to facilitate its absorption at the intestinal level. This degradation has a mechanical phase, which includes chewing and contracting the stomach, and an enzymatic phase.

The enzymes that allow the breakdown of proteins into amino acids are called proteases, or peptidases. They are enzymes capable of breaking peptide bonds, obtaining at the end amino acids that can be more easily assimilated by the organism.

    <em>The other options are not correct because </em><u><em>mechanical digestion</em></u><em> reduces the size of the digested food and mixes it with the gastric juices, but does not break the peptide bonds.</em>
