There are 3 steps to find the answer.

Step 1:
Convert 14 pounds (lb) to kg
2.2 lb=1 kg
This is a proportion setup

14 lbs/x kg = 2.2 lbs/1kg
Cross multiply
(14*1) = (x*2.2)
14=2.2x
Divide both sides by 2.2
14/2.2=x
x = 6.36 kg equals 14 lbs

Step 2:
Find recommended dose (mg) with infant's weight (kg)

15 mg/1 kg = x mg/6.36 kg
Cross multiply
(1*x)=(15*6.36)
x= 95.4 mg recommended dose

Step 3:
Find recommended dose in ml with given medication (80mg/0.80 ml)

80 mg/0.80mL = 95.4 mg/x ml
Cross multiply
(80*x) = (0.80*95.4)
80x=76.32
Divide both sides by 80
x = 0.954 ml recommended dose for 14 lbs

Hope this helps! :)

Animal sources are considered _____ proteins because they are easy to digest and contain all of the essential amino acids in amo
k0ka [10]

High quality.

The body requires 20 distinct types of amino acids. Only 11 of these, known as "non-essential amino acids," are produced by our bodies; the other 9 must be obtained from diet (essential amino acids).

Complete proteins, or those that include all of the necessary amino acids our bodies require, are found in animal proteins like meat, eggs, and milk. The best sources of protein are those found in animal products.

On the other hand, a number of studies have connected eating red meat to a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, and early mortality. Additional research has revealed that consuming more processed red meat may actually raise your chance of dying from heart disease.

We define health as a state of complete physical, social and mental wellbeing, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

From this definition you can see that health has three dimensions – physical, mental and social – which are interrelated and influence each other greatly.

Physical health relates to the efficient functioning of the body and its systems, and includes physical capacity to perform tasks and physical fitness.

Mental health is a state of wellbeing in which an individual:

recognises their own abilitiescan cope with the normal stresses of lifecan work productively and fruitfullyis able to contribute to their community.

Social health involves being able to interact with others and participate in the community in both an independent and cooperative manner.

Some examples of how events can influence all dimensions of health:

Example 1: A 16 year old male is involved in a car accident and breaks his pelvis, rendering him unable to attend school, or play football with the local club he loves.

His physical health is affected by the damage done to his pelvic bones and a loss of fitness, which in turn has prevented him from maintaining social contact at school and football, decreasing his ability to interact with others and have good social health.  His isolation may also reduce his mental health as he may feel lonely and depressed.

Example 2: A 33 year old woman develops depression.

Depression causes feelings of hopelessness, stress and loss of interest in normal activities, negatively impacting her mental health.  This may decrease her desire to exercise or prepare healthy food, leading to weight gain and loss of fitness, reducing her physical health.  Her depression may mean that she isn’t interested in interacting with others and participating in her community, and her moodiness puts a strain on her relationship with her husband, reducing her social health.

Driving fast in a car.

Chewing your fingernails.

Becoming aggressive or violent (hitting someone, throwing or kicking something)

frosja888 [35]
The correct answer among the choices given is the last option. Hallucinogens are naturally-occurring or synthetically-produced drugs that can cause hallucinations. Common types of this drug are psychedelics, deliriants and dissociatives. LSD is one of the most powerful mood-changing chemical available. It causes hallucinations, sensations and images that may seem real but actually not.
