Answer:

Sepsis

Explanation:

Because sepsis is the body's extreme response to an infection. It is a life-threatening medical emergency. Sepsis happens when an infection you already have triggered a chain reaction throughout your body. Infections that lead to sepsis most often start in the lung, urinary tract, skin, or gastrointestinal tract. Bowel Perforation can cause the abdomen to spill out its contents thus causing an infection and triggering all the symptoms this 30 y/o woman has.

The likely complication that the patient is suffering from intestinal perforation is <u>sepsis</u>

<h3>Intestinal perforation and sepsis</h3>

Perforation (formation of a hole) can occur in any hollow digestive organ, which causes release of gastrointestinal contents and can lead to sepsis (a potentially fatal bloodstream infection) and death if surgery is not performed immediately.

With this information, we can conclude that intestinal perforation can lead to sepsis and, if not treated urgently, the death of the patient.

Answer:

If red blood cells are placed in a hypertonic solution, they will shrink because the water moves out of the cell through osmosis. When red blood cells are places in hypotonic solution they swell and rupture because the water moved in the cell through osmosis.

Explanation:

If red blood cells are placed in 1400mOsm of NaCl, the cell volume will be lost because the wayer in the cell moves out due to higher concentration of salt outside, they will shrink.

Similarly if the red blood cells are places in urea and NaCl the cell will again shrink.

Whitepunk [10]
The difference between it and hyaline is that fibrous cartilage has a much denser matrix which contains far fewer chondrocytes and thicker collagen fibres. The main function of fibrocartilage is to serve as a shock absorber for structures where excessive pressures are generated.

When the hospital helicopter arrived with a patient, the emergency medical technician, George, gave the nurse, Cheikh, a detaile
Mashcka [7]
George could have been more concise with his report especially since the patient came in on a helicopter and is most likely emergent. An hour is too long for a report and he took up the nurses time, when Cheikh could’ve been with the patient.
Also, using complex medical terms may not be the best idea in an emergent setting because people might forget their meaning, or mishear the word as something else. Describing the state and history of the patient is much more effective than trying to sound smart in a critical situation.
