A nurse is reviewing the laboratory value of a patient who is at risk for disseminated intravascular coagulopathy.  Which of the following values should the nurse report to the healthcare provider?

Which action by the nurse is most effective to prevent becoming exposed to the human immune deficiency virus (HIV)?

The Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex converts pyruvate into Acetyl CoA and then determines whether this molecule will enter into the TCA cycle or continue on to Fatty Acid Synthesis. Regulation includes: Allosteric feedback inhibition from [drop1] which blocks dihydrolipoyl transacetylase and [drop2] which inhibits dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase. Covalent modification deactivates Pyruvate Dehydrogenase by means of a [drop3] enzyme and reactivates it by means of a [drop4] enzyme. Finally, [Drop5] activates pyruvate dehydrogenase and [drop6] inhibits it. 

Which of these patients is most appropriate for the burn unit charge nurse to assign to an RN staff nurse who has floated from the hospital medical unit?

There are four enzymes of gluconeogenesis that circumvent the irreversible steps in glycolysis.  When starting with the substrate pyruvate or lactate they are [drop1] The enzymes that remove phosphate groups during the process of gluconeogenesis and circumvent two of the three irreversible reactions of glycolysis are [drop2]

Where exactly is the embryo’s attachment site?

Use the sample enzyme reaction scheme below to answer the following:    What is the kcat?  [drop1] S-1 What is the Km ? [drop2] M What is the Vmax? Enzyme concentration is 2×10-8 M [drop3] M/S When 2mM inhibitor is added to the reaction, the Km remains unchanged while the Vmax, app = 2×10-5 M/S. What type of inhibition is this? [drop4]

The testis is divided into seminiferous tubules (STs). STs contain lobules. Lobules produce sperm and the ejaculatory duct that allows the sperm to be ejected.

The functional unit of the kidney is:

Through which two systems is CO2 eliminated from the body?
