Answer 1

5. Nursing assistive personnel are health care providers who don't own a valid license. They help registered nurses in certain tasks. They don't perform any crucial activities related to patients or provide nursing care without the knowledge of registered nurses.

a. Nursing assistive personnel cannot be allowed to obtain the weight of a patient who needs close monitoring. Patient N.T if bedridden or affected by a cerebrovascular accident or any diseases leading to falls may lead to any destruction to the patient. Nursing assistive personnel can help the registered nurses and not perform any activities without supervision or absence of licensed nurses.

b. Nursing assistive personnel can assist registered nurses in repositioning patients every 2 hours. Because assisting denotes the presence of a registered nurse when performing the care to the patient.

c. Initiating oxygen therapy via cannula is performed by a registered nurse and not nursing assistive personnel.

d.Neurologic checks can be performed by registered nurses and not nursing assistive personnel. Nursing assistive personnel cannot perform any care without the supervision of a registered nurse.

e. Manual BP measurement is done by a registered licensed nurse who knows how to perform the procedure and not a nursing assistive personnel who don't have adequate training and license to provide quality care to a patient.

6. Creatinine kinase (CK) also known as creatinine phosphokinase is present in the heart, brain, skeletal muscles and tissues. It is an enzyme helpful in the functioning of muscle cells in the body. When it is present in high amounts in circulation denotes the destruction of muscle cells in the body.

CK isoenzymes are CK-MB, CK-BB, CK-MM present in heart, brain and skeletal muscles. Monitoring these levels in blood help in finding the extent of destruction to muscle cells present in the heart, brain, and skeletal muscles.
