Four to eight times a day for 20 minutes at a time.-apex

Explanation:

Sprain is an injury that causes stretching or rupture of ligaments in the joint. Experts often suggest ice in the region to relieve pain and reduce swelling. This ice should be placed four to eight times a day for 20 minutes at a time.

Ice is an excellent analgesic and anti-inflammatory method. Low-cost and home-made, it can be taken in risky sports (football, racing, volleyball, etc.) and can be administered immediately after injury. However, care must be taken because very low temperatures can damage nerve structures that are very sensitive to temperature changes.

A problem solving approach to clinical practice involving a systematic review of existing literature best describes evidence-based practice.

A systematic review is an outline of the medical literature that uses express and duplicable ways to consistently search, critically appraise, and synthesize on a selected issue. It synthesizes the results of multiple primary studies associated with one another by exploitation ways that scale back biases and random errors.

Evidence-based practice observe (EBP) is a crucial tool for delivering high-quality patient care in varied nursing specialties. EBP allows nurses to use data-backed solutions that incorporate clinical experience and current analysis into the decision-making method.

During exercise, many chemical changes occur in the body, including a drop in blood ph, which can be very serious. how is the body able to cope with such changes?

The body is able to cope with such changes because the body's metabolism becomes more active, causing the body to require more oxygen (which leads you to breath faster and deeper)
