rewona [7]1 year ago

The patient should stop taking the cephalosporin and start taking metronidazole as the proper course of treatment.

<h3>What intestinal infection is the most typical?</h3>

While bacteria and parasites are also significant causes of acute and chronic gastrointestinal illnesses, as well as their aftereffects, the majority of instances are brought on by viruses, with norovirus being the most prevalent.

The majority of hospitalizations and fatalities due to Salmonella in the US are caused by nontyphoidal species.

<h3>What symptoms indicate a subsequent infection?</h3>
  • The term "secondary" typically denotes symptoms that are more severe and/or persistent.
  • Fever often rises and lasts longer with secondary bacterial infections than with primary ones.
  • While ear pain suggests an ear infection, a runny nose that lasts for more than a few weeks may be a sign of sinusitis.

How does an increase in the total vessel length cause an increase in blood pressure?
finlep [7]

Answer:

The blood pressure is directly proportional to the total length of the vessel.

Explanation:

The blood pressure is directly proportional to the total length of the vessel.

The long blood vessel will have higher the resistance and the flow of blood will be lower.

Thus, making intuitive sense, as with blood volume, as the vessel's enhanced surface area will impede blood flow. This lowering area will lead to the higher blood pressure through the blood vessel. Similarly with the reduction in the resistance of the blood vessel, the blood flow will boost.

Blood in the ventricle that is destined for the pulmonary capillary beds is in contact with the:
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option C- endothelial cells of the endocardium.

Explanation:

The pulmonary capillary bed is the network of capillaries in the lungs- alveolar region mainly where gaseous exchange takes place.

This bed receives blood from the pulmonary arteriole which arises from the pulmonary artery. The blood is pumped to this artery through the right ventricle of the heart. The right ventricle- especially the valves is lined from with the endocardium which lines it and prevents the blood from sticking to the inside of the chamber.

Therefore, the blood pumped from the right ventricle is in contact with the endothelial cells of the endocardium and option C is the correct answer.
