<h2>The initial nursing intervention should be as following: </h2>

Applying a sterilized saline gauze serves to restrict infection while retaining the membranes moistened. Although charging for paralysis should be made though this is not the preference. Usage of antibiotics is not administered prophylactically. After this procedure, the newborn requires extra routine attention due to the outpouching of the meninges.

Applying sterile, moist nonadherent dressings is done to prevent drying and breakage of the sac; any opening increases the risk for infection of the central nervous system. Diapering is contraindicated until the defect is repaired; the diaper may irritate the sac and cause rupture, predisposing the infant to infection. The infant is generally placed in a neutral position to reduce pressure on the affected area. The legs are abducted to counteract subluxation because the infant is unable to move the legs.

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

Soda can be prepared using sucrose, carbon dioxide gas, concentrated juices from different fruits in water.

For making soda, concentrated juices with required fruit flavor in water is used. The temperature of water should be low. Then required amount of sucrose is added. At the end, carbon dioxide is added to the tanks and pump it in under pressure before bottling which act as carbonic acid and add acidic flavor to the soda.

<em>The temperature should remain low because carbon dioxide gas dissolve more easily at low temperature and high pressure also support carbonation of carbon dioxide gas.</em>

Maintaining low temperature is beneficial to minimise the cost of energy and CO2 emission as well.

What is the percentage of calories were absorbed by your system??? Helpppp
denpristay [2]
Calories in and of themselves aren't a reliable way of describing energy density in food. It doesn't reflect what actually happens in your body (look up bomb-calorimeter for how people figure out calorie content in foods). So based on this, the question is a bit of a non-sequitur. But if you disregard that and go with a regular answer, it really depends on what kind of calories you're ingesting because foods get digested in a function of different amounts of time. Carbohydrates will get digested and converted into glucose almost immediately - being very close to 100% energy efficiency. Fats are the slowest as your body needs to produce bile in order to digest it - not enough bile = undigested fat = unused calories. Proteins are turned into either amino acids (not an energy source per se) or converted into glucose like carbs but instead through gluconeogenesis which is a less efficient form of glucose conversion than carbohydrates (since your liver/kidneys need to produce the enzymes to convert it). The efficiency of protein is likely in the range of 50-60% calories. This is just the tip of the iceberg though - your metabolism also plays a part as to how much and when these calories are either used, stored, and excreted by your body. Ever got the meat sweats? That's your body burning excess energy through thermogenesis when you eat too much protein. So it really depends why you're asking because the answer will differ for each scenario.
