Administer the prescribed enoxaparin (Lovenox).

  • The anticoagulant enoxaparin sodium is sold under brand names such as Lovenox. It is used to treat and prevent pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis, especially during pregnancy and after some types of surgery.
  • Heart attacks and acute coronary syndromes are also treated. A prescription drug called Lovenox is used to treat and prevent signs and symptoms of chest pain and blood clots (deep vein thrombosis or DVT) (angina). Lovenox can be taken alone or with other medicines.
  • Lovenox belongs to a class of drugs known as cardiovascular and blood anticoagulants. Tell your doctor if you have side effects that bother you or that don't go away.

Therefore, enoxaparin must be injected in such cases.

Antibiotics are routinely introduced into the food of cattle, chickens and other livestock, which causes the animals to grow fas
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Bacteria are highly adaptable microorganisms who have the capability of developing defense mechanisms against that which may harm them. Not least important of all, is the easiness with which some bacteria, especially pathogenic bacteria like Salmonella, or Klebsiella, develop mechanisms of resistance to antiseptics and, most importantly, antibiotics.

Antibiotics are a chemical substance that was created, and has been developed, in order to be able to combat pathogenic microorganisms, specifically bacteria. However, because today these substances are being used indiscriminately, we are now seeing a very worrying pattern of antibiotic-resistance patterns in microorganisms that used to be sensible to them. The result, we are facing strains of pathogenic bacteria, like Klebsiella pneumonia and E. Coli, that have become resistan to all types of antibiotics, from first generation, to fourth generation. And this has meant that when people acquire infection by these pathogens, the likelihood of death by them has increased because there are no agents capable of combating them.

Exposure to antibiotics has been the sole reason why these resistant strains of bacteria have emerged, especially when these antibiotics are not necessary. And feeding these substances to animals, to ensure their development and weight gain, has not made the situation any better. Now, we are instead adding also bacteria to the list that did not use to be resistant, but that are becoming so as they become adjusted to the constant exposure to antibiotics. Again, the result has been: more people infected with bacterial strains that cannot be combated with any of the existing antibiotic agents.

Anna [14]

Answer:

Option D (Aversion therapy) is the appropriate choice.

Explanation:

  • A type of behavioral treatment that involves aversive manipulation to mitigate or suppress the action of symptoms or conditions, combining harmful behavior or symptoms towards negative stimuli.
  • Closely connected with aversive conditioning, another terminology is more often used. See conduct counseling for behavior modification.

Some other alternatives are also not relevant to the current situation presented. So, the solution is indeed the correct version.

Describe diffusion and osmosis, as well as comparing hypotonic, hypertonic and isotonic solutions.
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Diffusion is the net movement of any substance from a higher concentration region to the lower concentration region. It is conducting by a concentration gradient.

Osmosis is a process in which solvent (molecules) pass through a semipermeable membrane (SPM) from a lower concentration solution region to a higher concentration region so it equalizes the concentrations on each side of the SPM.

A <u>hypotonic solution</u> is a solution that has a higher concentration of solutes inside the cell than outside of the cell. Thus the movement of water is from outside to the inside of the cell.

A <u>hypertonic solution</u> is a solution in which solutes concentration is greater outside the cell and low concentration inside. The movement of water is from inside the cell to outside the cell.

An <u>isotonic solution</u> where two solutions having the same concentration inside and outside of the cell so there is free movement of molecules across a semipermeable membrane.
