Combined Amputee Practice Qs with Verified Solutions What are the most effective methods for reducing edema in the residual limb after amputation? Effective methods include using compression garments, elevating the limb, and performing gentle range-of-motion exercises. How should a nurse approach patient education regarding the use and maintenance of a prosthetic limb? Patient education should include instructions on proper cleaning, regular checks for fit and alignment, and guidan...

Fractures and Amputations Questions and Answers Already Passed What is a key nursing intervention to prevent infection in a patient with an open fracture? A key intervention is to keep the wound clean and covered with sterile dressings and to monitor for signs of infection. What are common signs of compartment syndrome in a fractured limb? Common signs include severe pain, swelling, decreased sensation, and diminished pulse in the affected limb. How should a nurse care for a limb...

UNE Medical Biochemistry Midterm Review Already Graded A A family presents for genetic counseling. The couple has two female children who are alive and well; however, their infant son recently died in the nursery with severe hemolysis (lysis of red blood cells) and jaundice. The wife recalls she lost a brother in infancy with severe hemolysis, induced after a viral infection. The physician suspects a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency, this would result in a deficiency in which of the...

Amino Acid and Side Groups correct answers - Negative Side Groups = Acidic - Positive Side Groups = Basic Absolute Configuration correct answers refers the R/S naming convention. Some amino acids are R, and some are S. Relative Configuration correct answers - D/L naming convention. - All biologically produced amino acids are in the L configuration. Conformational stability correct answers - Temperature: Denatures second, third, and fourth tertiary - pH: Third and fourth; Destroys io...

BCH210 FINAL QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS UDP glucose pyrophosphorylase - Answer--transfers a UMP onto G1P on the non-reducing ends to form UDP-glucose -requires a UTP -2 phosphates is the leaving group phosphoglycomutase - Answer--isomerase glucose 1,6 biphosphate converted into G1P which could then be added onto the glycogen during glycogen synthase. -has a phosphate in its active site, and donates the phosphate to C1 and accepts the phosphate on C6 mitochondria structure - An...

ligand - Is the word for a drug or a bio molecule a molecule that is reversibly bound to a protein, examples oxygen, endogenous neurotransmitters, hormones, drug molecules Binding site - A discrete portion of the protein that is complementary to the ligand in: - Shape and size - Charge distribution - Hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions ***Is involved in specific interaction, certain structural features must be present on the ligand for binding Induced fit - A complementary conformationa...

RN 200 Week 5 Hw: Amputation 100% Correct What is the purpose of a stump shrinker in post-amputation care? A stump shrinker helps reduce swelling and shape the residual limb to prepare it for a prosthesis. How should a nurse assess for signs of impaired circulation in the residual limb after an amputation? Assess for signs of impaired circulation by checking for changes in skin color, temperature, and capillary refill time in the residual limb. What are the main considerations w...

BCHM 307 EXAM 1 QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS Secondary structure - Answer-the local 3-dimensional structure of the peptide backbone - there are 4 major classes of secondary structure (alpha helix, beta sheet, turns, and random coil) The alpha helix of the secondary structure - Answer-the alpha helix is a helical region of the peptide backbone that is stabilized by hydrogen bonding - carbonyl residue of each amino acid residue is hydrogen bonded to the amide group 4 residues further toward the c...
