<u>True </u>:- evaluation requires both the measurement of a health indicator.

What is health indicator?

Health indicators are quantifiable traits of a population that academics use to substantiate claims about the population's health. Typically, researchers will utilize a survey methodology to learn more about specific individuals, then use statistics to try to generalize the findings to the entire population. Finally, they will use the statistical analysis to draw conclusions about the population's health. Health indicators are metrics created to condense data on important issues pertaining to population health or the effectiveness of the healthcare system. They offer comparable and useful data that can be applied across various administrative, organizational, and geographic borders and/or can monitor development over time. Attention, warning, and alarm are the three different categories of alerts.

If a health indicator detects a non-normal state for one of the different states it measures, an attention alert is sent out.

What are the nursing considerations when administering Pitocin to a client for labor augmentation? When else may we use Pitocin

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

The answers are explained below

Explanation:

The nursing considerations are thus:

*Pitocin should be administered by a trained person and continuous monitoring is needed.

*Monitor the fetal heart rate for every 20 minutes for any nonreassuring patterns such as tachycardia or bradycardia.

*If any non reassuring fetal heart rate pattern occurs,immediately stop the infusion, Administer oxygen, provide side line position to the patient, administer non addictive solution.

*Monitor the uterine contractions periodically

*Monitor maternal vital signs and record it

*Monitor the intake and output patient and document it in I&O chart.

•Other Indications or cases of use of Pitocin are:

*Postpartum hemorrhage

*Incomplete/inevitable abortion

*Stimulate milk letdown reflex

<u>Reason:</u> Pitocin helps in the stimulation of oxytocin receptors in the uterus causes intense uterine contractions and increases intracellular calcium levels in uterine myofibrils. Pitocin is a drug of choice for postpartum hemorrhage. Because it is mainly due to lack of uterine muscle tone.

In incomplete abortion, oxytocin causes strong uterine muscle contractions and results in menstrual bleeding and abortion.

Stimulation of milk let down reflex: Oxytocin causes contractions in milk holding cells around the alveoli. This increased pressure leads to the ejection of milk through the nipple.

Which of the following is correct with regard to HIV infection? A The host cell receptor is GP120 which the viral spike protein

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

B The host cell receptor is CD4 which the viral spike protein GP120 will bind to.

Explanation:

In HIV binding and entry, the HIV protein envelope, glycoprotein GP120 binds to the host primary cellular receptor CD4 to fuse to the host cell membrane and then initiate infection.

The virus presents itself as viral membrane spikes (molecular mimics of host molecules), these spikes consist of three molecules of gp120 which are linked together and anchored by gp41 protein to the membrane. The gp120 then binds to CD4 receptor of the host cell to facilitate viral entry int the host cell and further illicit other responses that lead to infection and dominance.
