Achild with leukemia is to continue taking prednisone (meticorten) at home. the nurse discovers that the child's sibling is home from school with chickenpox. what is the nurse's priority concern?

The correct answer would be - the child is on a threat of any type of disease especially contagious such as chickenpox.

Explanation:

Children with leukemia are immunosuppressed which means their immune system is not working properly and are prone to any disease that is contagious. Vaccines of the Chickenpox is a live virus that should not be given to any immunosuppressed child.

Meticorten or prednisone does not provide immunity to the chickenpox. A child with the immunosuppressed condition can not live in proximity to the chickenpox patient. Chickenpox is a disease that can be spread by air in the form of small droplets and infect other people.

Thus, the correct answer is -  the child is on a threat of any type of disease especially contagious such as chickenpox.

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
