The patient is in progressive  stage of shock.

What  are the stages of shock?

When reduced blood flow (perfusion) is first noticed during Stage I shock, a number of processes are engaged to maintain/restore perfusion. This activation causes the blood arteries throughout the body to narrow (vasoconstriction), the heart to beat more quickly (tachycardia), breathing to speed up (tachypnea), and the kidneys to work harder to keep fluid in the circulatory system. On the AVPU scale, the patient is most certainly awake but may have altered mental status, such as bewilderment, irritation, or lethargy.

These compensatory techniques start to fall short in shock Stage II. The patient's symptoms demonstrate that the body's processes are no longer able to increase perfusion. On the AVPU scale, the patient becomes V, P, or U due to oxygen deprivation in the brain. Blood pressure may be near or below normal yet heart rate, breathing rate, and blood pressure are all still over average.

The duration of the poor perfusion starts to permanently damage the body's organs and tissues in Stage III of shock. The kidneys typically fully shut down, and the heart's performance continues to deteriorate. Heart and respiratory rates are significantly higher than average before collapsing to low rates that are not compatible with life. Additionally, the patient's blood pressure is dangerously low. The body's organs and tissues all contain damaged and dying cells. The patient's death is the eventual result of Stage III shock.

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

One of the variables would be age and sex.

Explanation:

A person with disease with coromary disease, the first variable that would influence their genetic expression is age, and the second in my opinion would be sex, since the predisposition of certain diseases is different between both sexes, some are more frequent in women and others in men.

Evaluation of evidence should be solely based upon study design.<br> A. True<br> B. False
ki77a [65]

Answer:

The correct answer to this question: Evaluation of evidence should be based solely upon study design:____, would be: false.

Explanation:

According to research done on the topic, there are many other issues that must be taken into account when evaluating the results of a research study, be it clinical, or in the field, and not simply study design. Study design allows the evaluators to assess the style, the form, and the way in which the study was carried out to reach results, but evaluating results, the evidence gathered only based on how the study was designed would be wrong. This evidence evaluation should focus primarily on how the intervention worked on a certain  study, and whether it was carried out in such a way that would yield the proper results, without bias.
