Answer: serotonin

Explanation: Clozaril (clozapine) is an antipsychotic medication. It works by changing the actions of chemicals in the brain.

Clozaril is used to treat severe schizophrenia, or to reduce the risk of suicidal behavior in people with schizophrenia or similar disorders. Clozaril blocks neurotransmitters than secrete serotonin  and cause have serious side effects for example developing diabetes.

In those with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder it may decrease the rate of suicidal behavior. It is more effective than typical antipsychotics, particularly in those who are treatment-resistant.  It is used by mouth, or by injection into a muscle.

Clozapine is classified as an atypical antipsychotic drug because it binds to serotonin as well as dopamine receptors.

Clozapine is an antagonist at the 5-HT2A subunit of the serotonin receptor, putatively improving depression, anxiety, and the negative cognitive symptoms associated with schizophrenia.

There should be options to choose from with this question. I found them elsewhere.

A) Nicotine

B) Caffeine

C) Heroin

D) Marijuana


The answer is heroin. Heroin use can cause damage to many organs with your kidneys and liver being two. Heroin can be quite destructive to the body in ways that the body unfortunately may never recover from. Significant damage to the liver and kidneys is irreparable and in some cases transplants might be needed or having to take certain types of medication to keep them from failing completely.

Deffense [45]

Answer:

PICO is a mnemonic system that is much used in evidence-based practice both in Medicine and Nursing. This system allows a researcher in a medical field to evaluate all aspects of a situation, or health condition, being studied and respond to all the necessary questions in an organized and integral form. PICO, stands for the following: P: patient, problem or population, I: Intervention, C: Comparisson, control, and O: Outcomes.

In the case of this question, the nurse researcher wishes to ascertain the effectiveness of replacing intravenous catheters in patients with a frequency of 72 hour-intervals between changes in diminishing infection rates due to this nursing procedure. In order to fully research the validity of such a question, of the ensuing experimentation, observation and gathering of data, and the release of valid results, this researcher will use PICO as her guiding framework. As the question requests, then, the O in this system would apply to the expected result, or the outcome, expected from applying the thesis of the researcher. That would be: "the decrease infection rates."
