Leukotrienes

Leukotrienes are inflammatory chemicals produced by the body, specifically by white blood cells called leukocytes. They play a key role in the body’s immune response, particularly in the lungs and in conditions like asthma and allergic reactions. Key Points About Leukotrienes: Functions Inflammatory Mediators: Leukotrienes contribute to the inflammation process by attracting immune cells to…

ABG Analysis

ABG Analysis

Mastering ABG analysis is essential for nursing practice and success on the NCLEX. Each question in this set emphasizes key concepts, including the identification of acid-base imbalances, physiological responses, and their implications for patient care. A strong grasp of these principles will enhance your ability to assess and respond effectively to patients' needs in various clinical situations.
