Complete a complete evaluation, which should include a Glasgow Coma Scale, and then put the client somewhere where they may be checked on frequently.

<h3>When tapping a customer's chest What may the nurse anticipate hearing?</h3>

Because the lungs are filled with air rather than dense tissue, resonance is the typical sound produced while percussing them. However, if a client has adipose tissue or a muscular chest, the sound may be more dull or flat because of the altered density.

<h3>Which indication of peritonitis will the nurse evaluate in a patient?</h3>

Veronika [31]

Answer:

Patients medical history and records are meant to be confidential. The coders discussing on the diagnosis listed on a patient’s file and commenting on the patient’s past social history in relation to the diagnosis listed in the medical record is totally unacceptable.

I would make sure I warn them to desist from going against the ethics of the profession or make up evidences and report them to the relevant authorities.

Por qué el cuerpo humano tiene entre 206 y 208 huesos? Como están compuestos los Miembros inferiores? (Aclarar sus partes).
Darya [45]

Answer:

El cuerpo humano posee 206 huesos (208 huesos teniendo en cuenta huesecillos del oído medio)

Miembros inferiores > fémur, tibia, peroné, tarso, metatarso y falanges.

Explanation:

En adulto se compone de 206 huesos, pero algunos autores sostienen que el cuerpo humano está compuesto por 208 huesos debido a que el hueso del estribo (estapedio) perteneciente a la cadena de huesecillos del oído medio se suele considerar como dos unidades independientes (lenticular y estribo), dando así lugar a un total de 208 huesos. Por otra parte, otros autores también han considerado la posibilidad de que el cuerpo humano está compuesto por 208 huesos debido a variaciones en el número de las vértebras. Los huesos de miembros inferiores se dividen de acuerdo a su localización en huesos del muslo, de la pierna y del pie. El muslo contiene un sólo hueso conocido como fémur (el hueso más largo del cuerpo). La pierna posee dos huesos llamados tibia y peroné los cuales se disponen paralelamente. La tibia es más larga y gruesa que el peroné debido a que la tibia soporta todo el peso de la articulación. Finalmente, el pie se compone del tarso, el metatarso y las falanges (huesos de los dedos). El tarso posee siete huesos (calcáneo, astrágalo, navicular, cuboides y tres cuñas), mientras que el metatarso posee cinco huesos (primero, segundo, tercero, cuarto y quinto). Al igual que en los miembros superiores, el dedo gordo del pie posee dos falanges conocidas como proximal y distal, mientras que los cuatro dedos restantes poseen tres falanges (proximal, media y distal).
