EMT will be least likely to experience a body substance exposure when splinting a sprained ankle.

Body substance exposure refers to the situation in which one comes into contact with the blood or body fluid of another person. Exposure is dangerous as it is one means through which infections and diseases like HIV and hepatitis C spread.

Body substance exposure is a high risk when treating patients or giving aid to accident victims, etc. It can arise from cutting of skin by a sharp object, contact with an open wound, a human bite, etc.

An Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) provides emergency medical aid in life-threatening situations, and are therefore at high risk from body substance exposure.

Treating a patient with TB, assisting in childbirth, or bandaging a laceration, has a high exposure rate. In contrast, Splinting a sprained ankle is relatively safe as it does not involve blood or body fluids.

Q. During which of these situations would the EMT be least likely to experience a body substance exposure?

<u>Options:</u>

A. Treating a patient with TB

B. Childbirth

C. Splinting a sprained ankle.

D. Bandaging a laceration

The Black Death was a disturbing and emotional period during the 1380s. How was this demonstrated in the arts?
Serga [27]

Answer:

Artists viewed the as a tragic thing so they made paintings to warn the near future about such things happening. Evidence shows what emotion the artist felt  As of right now some may write a book about this pandemic and how he/she viewed it  

Explanation:

Healing power

In the 17th Century, many people believed that imagination had the power to harm or heal. The French artist Nicolas Poussin painted The Plague of Ashdod (1630-1631) in the middle of a plague outbreak in Italy. In a recreation of a faraway tragic biblical scene, which provokes feelings of horror and despair,  

The plague of smallpox devastated Japan over many centuries. An artwork created in 1892 depicts the mythical Samurai warrior Minamoto no Tametomo resisting the two smallpox gods, variola major and variola minor. The warrior, known for his endurance and fortitude, is portrayed as strong and confident, clothed with viscerally red ornate garments and armed with swords and a quiver full of arrows. In contrast, the fleeing, frightened, colourless smallpox gods are squeezed helplessly into the corner of the image.

Navigating pain through the self-portrait

Modern and contemporary artists have created self-portraits to make sense of their own plague suffering, while simultaneously contemplating the transcendent themes of life and death.

When the Spanish Flu hit Europe just after World War One, Norwegian artist Edvard Munch became one of its victims. While his body was still grappling with the flu, he painted his trauma – pale, exhausted and lonely, with an open mouth. The gaping mouth echoes his most famous work, The Scream, and perhaps depicts Munch’s difficulty breathing at the time. There is a strong sense of disorientation and disintegration, with the figure and furniture blending together in a delirium of perception. The artist’s sheet looks like a corpse or a fitful sleeper, tossing and turning in the night. Unlike some of Munch’s previous depictions of illness, in which he portrays the sick person’s loved ones waiting with anxiety and fear, the artist here portrays himself as the victim, who has to endure this plague isolated and alone.

Why do some people consider the way the media cover candidates for public office bad for democracy?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

B. The media are for-profit businesses, unable to be fair or objective in the interest of the public.

Explanation:

The media's objective is to sway the public into believing what they say, and to essentially (though the term may be harsh) <em>brainwash</em> the viewer to see the situation as the media see's it, instead of allowing them to have their own objective view. Of course, it does not work 100% like this, but the way the media portrays events can definitely affect the view of a person.

For example, in recent events, President Trump proposed a tax deduction to help small businesses and the ordinary person to survive through the wake of the Corona-virus and the stay-at-home order. However, while it may seem like a good thing, the media <em>sways the public's opinion</em> to believe that the tax cuts were only beneficial to the wealthy. This sways people's beliefs of whether the tax cut was beneficial as a whole or not, but Trump did a tax cut, which is all that matters.

Another example can be found in a not-as-recent event, where President Obama signed tax cuts into law. Most media coverage of it was neutral at most, even positive sometimes. This shows that there is bias inside the media, and those who read, listen to, or watch certain media would be accustom to their way of thinking as well.

Remember, all media is there to make a profit, and to do so, they must 1) have large amounts of viewers, and 2) be able to influence others into seeing events the way they see it. There is no objective views in the media, for everybody has their own opinions, and own set of beliefs.
