What do antibodies actually do to a virus
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

It neutralizes the virus

Explanation:

When a vertebrate is infected with a virus, antibodies are produced against many epitopes on multiple virus proteins. A subset of these antibodies can block virus infection by a process that is called neutralization.

Antibodies can neutralize viral infectivity in a number of ways, as summarized in the illustration. They may interfere with virion binding to receptors, block uptake into cells, prevent uncoating of the genomes in endosomes, or cause aggregation of virus particles. Many enveloped viruses are lysed when antiviral antibodies and serum complement disrupt membranes.

when developing a patient's plan of care, which contributing factors would the nurse identify as affecting the anxiety level of
suter [353]

The factors would the nurse identify as affecting the anxiety level of patients admitted to the intensive care unit is pain, intubation and immobilization .

<h3>What is meant by intubation?</h3>

A medical professional will intubate a patient by inserting a tube into their mouth or nose and then into their trachea, or windpipe. The tube maintains the trachea's opening, allowing air to pass through. A device that distributes air or oxygen can be connected to the tube.

Now, as a general rule, an endotracheal tube or breathing tube is typically left in your loved one's throat or larynx for up to two weeks at most, unless there are specific and uncommon conditions.

As a result of intubation, the majority of people only experience minor side effects including a sore throat and hoarseness. Some people don't even know they were intubated because they exhibit no symptoms.

To learn more about intubation refer to:
