1 answer:
katrin [286]1 year ago
5 0

Activities such as drinking, and eating in areas where there is blood and other body fluids should be avoided as there might be a likely exposure to a bloodborne pathogen.

Other activities that should be avoided include:

  • Person-person contact activities especially when there is potentially infectious skin with wounds in the form of abrasion or skin lesions.
  • Handling of unsterilized equipment which includes sharp objects.
  • Volunteering activities that involve assisting injured victims without personal protective equipment such as gloves should be avoided.

What are bloodborne pathogens?

They are disease-causing microorganisms that can be spread from one person to another through contaminated blood and other body fluids such as semen, and vaginal secretions but may not be found in fluids such as urine, or saliva unless they are contaminated with infected blood. Some known bloodborne pathogens include Hepatitis B Virus and Human Immunodeficiency Virus.

In summary, the activities mentioned above should be avoided as you can never tell if a surface is contaminated. Some bloodborne pathogens may survive for weeks in an environment outside the body and still remain infectious.

Thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency diseases have a lower prevalence now than in the past. However, they are seen as beriberi in so
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer and Explanation:

      Vitamin B (thiamine) is usually found in cereals, grains, vegetables and meat among other foods. Ingestion of this nutrient through balanced diet is one of the most important measures for the control of Beriberi. Not only the consumption of thiamine sources, but also the decrease in beverages that may disturb the absorption of thiamine, such as coffee and alcoholic beverages.

     Beriberi is a serious disease directly linked to the lack of thiamine, also known as Vitamin B1. This disease can lead to death, but with proper treatment, it is possible to achieve cure. When vitamin B1 is not consumed regularly in food, mild symptoms of beriberi may arise such as insomnia, nervousness, irritation, fatigue, loss of appetite and energy. These problems may manifest themselves after two to three months of exclusively consuming thiamine-poor foods. Symptoms can still develop into more severe symptoms such as numbness, tingling and swelling of the legs and arms, difficulty breathing, heart problems, heart failure and even death.

   Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome), also known as alcoholic encephalopathy, cerebral beriberi, among others, is a neuropathy related to vitamin B1 deficiency, and indirectly (but more commonly) acute alcoholism, because alcohol interfere in body's ability to absorb thiamine.

  Vitamin B1 is related to the process of transformation of pyruvic acid, which is responsible for performing biochemical transformations of proteins, fats and mainly carbohydrates. When this element is lacking in the body, neurons are the most affected cells, causing these sympthons above.

34kurt

Answer: D) precapillary sphincters relax.

Explanation:

 Blood flow to a tissue will decrease if precapillary sphincters relax as, capillaries provides glucose and oxygen to the cells and allows blood to flow through it when the muscle ring known as the precapillary Sphincters get relaxed. The blood flow is stopped when the precapillary sphincters constrict flow of blood. As, certain chemical signals causes feeder arterioles to dilate and bring more blood into local areas then, it causes precapillary sphincters to relax.
