A patient has been admitted with septic shock related to tissue necrosis. The nurse knows the initial goal for medical management for this patient is which intervention?

The nurse is caring for a patient who what just admitted with septic shock. The nurse knows that certain interventions should be completed within 1 to 3 hours of time of presentation. Which intervention would be a priority for the nurse to implement upon receipt of a practitioner’s order?

Which interventions minimize the complications associated with suctioning an artificial airway? (Select all that apply)

Which disorders or conditions are potential causes of acute liver failure? (Select all that apply, one, some, or all.)

A patient has been admitted with hypovolemic shock due to traumatic blood loss. Which nursing measure can best facilitate the administration of large volumes of fluid?

Upload an image of your drawing. Malate in the cytosol may be converted to pyruvate in a single step in a reaction catalyzed by malic enzyme. This reaction requires the cofactor NADP+ and is analogous to one of the reactions in the citric acid cycle This reaction along with the pentose phosphate pathway, provides reducing equivalents for fatty acid biosynthesis. Draw out this reaction showing the structures or names of the substrate, products and cofactors. Identify which step in the citric acid cycle that this reaction is most similar to.

  The structure of the hormone epinephrine (adrenaline) is shown. Which common biomolecule would best serve as the starting material for this compound? Give structure, name or abbreviation.  (1 pt.) Epinephrine acts on liver cells through a G protein coupled receptor and acts similar to the hormone, glucagon. Does the action of epinephrine promote the synthesis or breakdown of glycogen?  (1 pt.) Both epinephrine and glucagon activate the same intracellular messenger, 3’,5’-cyclic AMP (cAMP). Explain how increased levels of cAMP in the cell are able to control both the synthesis and breakdown of intracellular glycogen beginning with GTP bound to the  α -subunit of the G protein receptor.  (4 pts.)

Three α -ketoacids, a 3-C atom pyruvate, a 4-C atom oxaloacetate, and a 5-C atom α-ketoglutarate, are found in the glycolytic pathway and the citric acid cycle. Give three metabolic fates (name or abbreviation of end product or pathway) of the 3-carbon acid. Give three metabolic fates (name or abbreviation of end product or pathway) of the 4-carbon acid.
