Epidemic describes infections in a region whereas pandemic describes infections across countries/continents
Anika [276]2 years ago

Answer:

baseline, endemic (possibly hyperendemic) are all references to a constant number of infections

Explanation:

<em>What term describes a </em><em>constant number of infections in a region?</em>

<em></em>

Now, there are a few terms we could use for this.

Sometimes, it may be referred to as a baseline (because that's the level its typically at--the "constant" number)

Baseline also can be called "endemic" (the constant presence)

The -endemic really just means persistent, so "hyperendemic" is a persistent high-level, which could be the baseline for that region

epidemic/cluster/outbreak/pandemic are all when we variate strongly from the baseline/expected number of infections

hope this helps! have a lovely day :)

During dehydration, the body attempts to conserve as much water as possible. Which of the following actions would NOT occur if t
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- C.

Explanation:

Dehydration is the loss of water from the body in the response to which body undergoes physiological and metabolic changes as:

1. The hypothalamus produces Anti-diuretic hormone or ADH from the posterior of the pituitary gland which produces its effect on the kidney to reabsorb the water.

2. The body produces renin, angiotensin II and aldosterone which increases the permeability of the distal convoluted tubule and the collecting ducts.

3. The extracellular blood or the blood becomes more concentrated due to dehydration.

Thus, option- C which is that renal tubules decrease water reabsorption is the incorrect option as water absorption is increased in the kidney.

A nurse in the intensive care unit is responding to a low-pressure limit mechanical ventilator alarm. The nurse will assess for
slega [8]

The nurse will assess for inadequate tracheostomy tube cuff inflation while responding to a low-pressure limit mechanical ventilator alarm.

  • An alarm for excessive airway pressure indicates an issue with compliance or resistance.
  • To stop the alarm and make sure the patient receives the predetermined number of breaths from the ventilator, turn up the upper limit on the alarm parameter first.

An audible and/or visual alert will trigger if the pressure inside the breathing circuit falls below the Low Airway Pressure Alarm limit specified on the ventilator. Low pressure alerts can be caused by, among other things:

  • The patient's connection to the ventilator circuit breaks.
  • inadequate tracheostomy tube cuff inflation
  • nasal cushions, prongs, or invasive non-masks that don't fit well
  • Circuit and tube connections that are loose
  • The ventilator cannot supply the patient with as much air as they need.

nika2105 [10]
Endophytes are known as novel, selected, or livestock friendly. Grazing grass or feeding products from these endophyte-infected plants does not adversely affect livestock. In these strains, natural mutations eliminate some or all of the genes required to produce a functional ergot alkaloid.

goblinko [34]

Answer:

paying attention to details, aware hearing, pacience

Explanation:

once i was providing information to a student (english class),i  realized that the way he creates his ideas was very slow and trembling, when i asked him to read a piece of a paragraph i saw the same behaviour so i decifrated the problem was into reading word by word without conecting all of them with a constant pace until a coma or dot because we do interprate things holisticly and not individually so thanks of a pacient and responsive hearing i could saw his improvement in just one class!

Identify the true and false statements about physical and environmental contributors to mental health
Nitella [24]

Mental health is affected by physical factors such as disease or brain injury and by environmental factors such as stress or unemployment.

Mental health is one of the spheres of health. This comprises the mind related to psychological and emotional wellbeing.

This sphere can be affected by other factors or sphere including:

  • Environmental factors
  • Physical factors
  • Social factors

In the case of environmental factors this includes factors such as stress or unemployment, these affect mental health because they make a person more likely to develop certain conditions such as stress.

On the other hand, physical factors include factors such as disease or brain injury. The two factors have also been proven to make an individual more vulnerable to certain mental diseases.

Note: This question is incomplete because the statements are not given. Due to this, I answered it based on general knowledge.
