Use the fоllоwing infоrmаtion to аnswer the question below.The Brаzil nut tree, Bertholletia excels (n = 17), is native to tropical rain forests of South America. It is a hardwood tree that can grow to over 50 meters tall, is a source of high-quality lumber, and is a favorite nesting site for harpy eagles. As the rainy season ends, tough-walled fruits, each containing 8 to 25 seeds (Brazil nuts), fall to the forest floor. Brazil nuts are composed primarily of endosperm. About $50 million worth of nuts are harvested each year. Scientists have discovered that the pale yellow flowers of Brazil nut trees cannot fertilize themselves and admit only female orchid bees as pollinators. The agouti (Dasyprocta spp.), a cat-sized rodent, is the only animal with teeth strong enough to crack the hard wall of Brazil nut fruits. It typically eats some of the seeds, buries others, and leaves still others inside the fruit, which moisture can now enter. The uneaten seeds may subsequently germinate.If a female orchid bee has just left a Brazil nut tree with nectar in her stomach, and if she visits another flower on a different Brazil nut tree, what is the sequence in which the following events should occur?1. double fertilization2. pollen tube emerges from pollen grain3. pollen tube enters micropyle4. pollination

The nurse is cаring fоr а client diаgnоsed with diabetic ketоacidosis (DKA) with Regular insulin infusing. At 0900, the insulin was infusing at 4 units/hour. At 1000, the blood glucose level measured 320 mg/dL. At 1100, the blood glucose level measured 269 mg/dL. At 1200, the blood glucose level measured 200 mg/dL. The following protocol is titration guidelines for insulin administration. 1. At what rate will the insulin infusion be titrated to next? 2. What order would you request or anticipate from the provider? Insulin Table Current BG (mg/dL) Insulin IV infusion rate (mL/hr) Greater than 300 Increase rate by 2 units/hr. 251-300 Increase rate by 1.5 units/hr. 201-250 Increase rate by 1 unit/hr. 181-200 Increase rate by 0.5 units/hr. 140-180 No change 100-139 Decrease rate by 1.3 units/hr. 70-99 Decrease rate by 50%. Recheck BG in 30 minutes. 100 mg/dL, restart the infusion at 50% of the previous rate and check BG after 30 minutes.
