Your patient cannot walk and is breathing 16 times per minute. you should next assess capillary refill time.

Capillary refill is a measure of the time it takes for a distal capillary bed to regain color after pressure has been applied to cause blanching. For a healthy individual, a normal capillary refill only takes a few seconds. A new born baby takes two seconds while an adult takes 3 seconds.

The patient not being able to walk and breathing 16 times a minute indicates the person is breathing too rapidly and it might mean the patient is about to go in shock.

Thus capillary refill time assesses peripheral perfusion in patient at risk for shock since sudden blood flow decrease can be checked by healthcare providers. Thus, if capillaries in your finger are too slow to refill emergency treatments can save your life.

If a white person eats a cracker, doesn't it make them a cannibal?(no racism intended)

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

No, not at all because a cracker is not another human being. However if this person ate another human than that then is cannabis. In the case of cannabis e colour or race does not matter in the consumer nor the person being eaten.Now if there is human in the cracker(which does not happen) than it would make them a cannibal without them or others knowing.

Your patient is returning for follow-up 6 weeks after sustaining a nondisplaced fracture of his radius. He tells you that his fo

harkovskaia [24]

The correct answer is D; "That bump is a normal part of bone healing at this stage. As your body completes the process, the cells in your bone will gradually remodel it to its previous shape."

Further Explanation:

The "lump" that is located in the bone where the bone is healing is common in breaks. When the body suffers from a broken bone, there are three phases the body goes through. The bone restructures itself and the healing begins with the process called remodeling.

The healing bone goes through three phases called;

*Inflammatory phase

*Repair phase

*Remodeling phase

The "lump" is a callous that has formed and the body will eventually heal itself and the "lump" will disappear.

Why is informed consent an important patient right? Check all of the boxes that apply.

muminat

Answer:

Informed consent is important to the patient for all of the above reasons because it allows the patient to know about his treatment and the risk involved, as well as giving him freedom of choice and participation in the health care process.

Explanation:

Before being subjected to an investigation, diagnostic study or treatment —especially if it involves risk— a patient must know everything about the procedure and has the right to express his or her acceptance or rejection by signing an informed consent.

If the terms "informed" and "consent" are analyzed separately, it can be established that you are informed because information related to a procedure is dispensed, while consent implies acceptance or refusal of the procedure.

Informed consent provided:

The right of the patient to receive information of interest, with the benefits and negative —or harmful—side effects of a given medical treatment being explained.
A resource that allows the patient to participate in decisions related to his/her health and medical treatment.
The patient's ability to make decisions about the types of medical treatments and procedures offered to him.

The purpose of informed consent is to ensure, to the fullest extent possible, that a patient knows the positive and negative aspects of a treatment, makes a judgment, and decides whether or not to accept it.
