    the stoma via diffusion. An enzyme, known as Rubisco, will fix the CO2 to form a 3 carbon compound (Khan academy [accessed 2017]). This 3 carbon compound will eventually be converted to sugar and become maple syrup (Perkins and van den Berg 2009). Plants that follow this metabolic pathway are known as C3 plants (Khan academy [accessed 2017]).

    and even had someone come into our lab and talk more about them, I understood that my client knew way more about her situation than I did. I was able to get her background information on, even though I was not able to change or do anything with the stoma I know that would have felt more comfortable doing it after talking about it with her. I think that as nurses become more experiences it is easy to assume that you know more about the patient’s condition than they do, I hope that I always…
