Research indicates that albuterol, a drug used to relax bronchial muscles, improving airflow and thus offering relief from asthma, consists only of one enantiomer, the r-form. why is it important for this drug to consist of only one enantiomeric form, rather than a mixture of enantiomers?

Some viruses can be crystallized and their structures analyzed. one such virus is yellow mottle virus, which infects beans. this virus has a single-stranded rna genome containing about 6300 nucleotides. its capsid is 25-30 nm in diameter and contains 180 identical capsomeres.if the yellow mottle virus begins its infection of a cell by using its genome as mrna, which of the following would you expect to be able to measure? a) replication rateb) transcription ratec) translation rated) formation of new transcription factors

A92-year-old man with a 45-year history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is intubated in the icu because of a bout of viral pneumonia that fails to improve after 72 hours of antibiotics. although the inspired fraction of oxygen is 100%, the patient's po2 remains at 57 mmhg. positive-end expiratory pressure (peep) is added to allow the inspired fraction of oxygen. twelve hours after the introduction of peep the patient suddenly become hypotensive. at the same time, his oxygen saturation drops from 92% to 61%. on physical examination, his bp is 80/50 mmhg and his pulse is 124/min. he has distended neck veins and distant heart sounds. which of the following would also most likely be seen on this patient's physical examination? - absence of breath sounds in the right hemithorax- high amplitude carotid artery upstroke- a pleural friction rub- pulsus alternans- splenomegaly

You are assessing an 86-year-old postoperative patient who has an unexpressive, stoic demeanor. when you enter the room, the patient is curled into the fetal position and your assessment reveals that his vital signs are elevated and he is diaphoretic. you ask the patient what his pain level is on a 0-to-10 scale that you explained to the patient prior to surgery. the patient indicates a pain level of “three or so.” you review your pain-management orders and find that all medications are ordered prn. how would you treat this patient's pain?
