A client has been diagnosed with gram-negative pneumonia of the lower lobe. Knowing that gram-negative bacteria have a lipopolysaccharide endotoxin on their outer cell membrane, the health care provider should be assessing the client for which pathophysiological end result will be Apoptosis
Step-by-step explanation:
A cell expires in two ways namely, Apoptosis and necrosis. When an injury or any force that comes externally and makes a cell die it is called as Necrosis. This may include any injury or any infection that happens during stroke or heart arrest.
When a cell is not affected by any external force and it dies by itself, then it is called as Apoptosis. It is also called as a programmed death of cell. The victims are multi cellular organisms. Thus, the given scenario clearly shows that the result will be apoptosis.
