An electric device delivers a current of [tex]$15.0 A$[/tex] for 30 seconds. How many electrons flow through it?
Answer (2)
In this set of questions, we are dealing with the nutritional management of electrolyte imbalances: one concerning sodium levels and the other concerning potassium levels.
34. Sodium Levels
The client's serum sodium level is 151 mEq/L, which is above the normal reference range of 135-145 mEq/L. This means the client is experiencing hypernatremia, a condition where there is too much sodium in the blood.
To manage hypernatremia, it is important to reduce dietary sodium intake. Foods high in sodium should be avoided.
Option D: American cheese is high in sodium and would not be appropriate for someone trying to lower their sodium intake. This choice indicates the need for further instruction.
Other options, such as fish, spinach, and rhubarb, are generally lower in sodium compared to processed cheeses like American cheese.
35. Potassium Levels
The next question focuses on potassium intake and the risk of hypokalemia, a condition where potassium levels in the blood are too low.
Foods high in potassium should be included in the diet to prevent hypokalemia.
Option C: Eggs are not particularly high in potassium, unlike other options listed.
Options such as pork, beef, and especially raisins, tend to have higher potassium content, making them better sources for increasing potassium intake.
Therefore, selecting eggs as a primary source of potassium indicates a need for further education on high-potassium food choices.
In summary, the primary foods to watch out for are processed cheeses for sodium management and low-potassium foods like eggs for potassium management.
In 30 seconds, approximately 2.81 × 1 0 21 electrons flow through an electric device that delivers a current of 15.0 A . This is calculated using the relationship between current, charge, and the charge of a single electron. The total charge calculated in this case is 450 C .
