The nurse is performing a neurological assessment on a client and elicits a positive Romberg's sign. the nurse makes this determination based on a significant sway when the client stands erect with feet together arms at the side and eyes closed observation.

In order to look for imbalance brought on by a loss of proprioceptive sensory input, Romberg's sign compares equilibrium with the eyes open and closed. When proprioception is impaired, a patient may be able to stand up straight with their eyes open but sways or collapses when they close their eyes.

In order to maintain balance while keeping their eyes open, the patient stands with their feet as close together as possible. In most cases, closing the eyes just temporarily throws balance off. Eye closure increases swaying or outright loss of balance in patients with Romberg's sign deficient proprioception, necessitating a step to reestablish equilibrium and, in rare cases, a near fall. The Romberg sign is a delicate posterior column signal; it is not a cerebellar signal.

Please explain what a Giffen good is and how it violates laws of demand?
Anna35 [415]
A giffen good is a good whose demand rises when the price rises, which is opposite to the laws of demand because the laws of demand state that a rise in price will result in a reduction of demand. An example can be a staple food like bread. If the price of bread rises, people will buy it more because they'll have to cut back on other more expensive things, of course this applies in theory.
