The nurse should divide the dose. Administer 0.75 mL IM in each vastus lateralis.

A toddler is classified as a child who is between the age of 12 months to 36 months.

Intramuscular (IM) drug administration is the type of drug administration that entails the administration of drug into the muscles.

Answer:

When portable transport ventilator alarms are ringing, the priority nursing assessment includes to check if, all the tubes of ventilators are connected properly or not because sometimes movement of the patient can disconnect the tubes.

Greater decreases in overall brain volume in later adulthood is associated with ________________ in cognitive abilities and cogn
TEA [102]

Greater decreases in overall brain volume in later adulthood is associated with an unclear exact relationship in cognitive abilities and cognitive functioning.

<h3>How brain changes in late adulthood?</h3>

The brain's size reaches roughly 90% of its adult volume by the time a child is six years old. The brain begins to contract in our 30s and 40s, and by the time we reach our 60s, the brain is contracting even more rapidly. The brain begins to change in appearance, just like wrinkles and gray hair do later in life.

The brain actually shrinks and its overall mass decreases as adults. There are decreases in some neurotransmitters as well, including dopamine and acetylcholine. Loss of memory for recent events, familiar names, and familiar duties is the first sign of Alzheimer's disease. In old age, general knowledge memory does not deteriorate. There has been a deterioration in episodic and event memory.

All of the following expressions are equal except _____. 2 ^ -3 8 1/8 2^1/2^4 math
Brilliant_brown [7]

Explanation:

Option 1 is 2^{-3}

Property is : x^{-y}=\dfrac{1}{x^y}

So, 2^{-3}=\dfrac{1}{2^3}=\dfrac{1}{8}

Option 2 is 8\dfrac{1}{8}

We can write it as : 8\dfrac{1}{8}=\dfrac{8(8)+1}{8}=\dfrac{65}{8}

Option 3 is \dfrac{2^1}{2^4}

Property is : \dfrac{x^a}{x^b}=x^{a-b}

So,

\dfrac{2^1}{2^4}=\dfrac{1}{2^3}\\\\=2^{-3}\\\\=\dfrac{1}{8}

It is clear that option a and c are same. But option b is different.

Red blood cells (erythrocytes)

The red blood cells are highly specialized, well adapted for their primary function of transporting oxygen from the lungs to all of the body tissues. Red cells are approximately 7.8 μm (1 μm = 0.000039 inch) in diameter and have the form of biconcave disks, a shape that provides a large surface-to-volume ratio. When fresh blood is examined with the microscope, red cells appear to be yellow-green disks with pale centres containing no visible internal structures. When blood is centrifuged to cause the cells to settle, the volume of packed red cells (hematocrit value) ranges between 42 and 54 percent of total volume in men and between 37 and 47 percent in women; values are somewhat lower in children. Normal red blood cells are fairly uniform in volume, so that the hematocrit value is determined largely by the number of red cells per unit of blood. The normal red cell count ranges between four million and six million per cubic millimetre.
