Answer: The patient may be exhibiting a blunted or absent febrile response.

Explanation:

The nurse should interpret the condition that absent or blunted febrile response during the time of infection. It has been seen that more than 30% of the older adults are suffering from the serious infection related to the absent or even blunted febrile response. This may be because of delay in the diagnosis process and requires the initiation of the antimicrobial treatment.

El area de una cancha de basquetbol
Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

The length is 28.656 m and the width is 14.656 m

Explanation:

<u><em>The question in English is</em></u>

The area of a basketball court  is 420 m² if the length is 14 meters  more than the width, what are its dimensions?

Let

L ----> the length of the basketball court

W ---> the width of the basketball court

we know that

The area of the of rectangular court is

A=LW

we have

A=420\ m^2

so

420=LW ----> equation A

L=W+14 ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for W

420=(W+14)W\\\\W^2+14W-420=0

Solve the quadratic equation by graphing

The solution is W=14.656\ m

see the attached figure

Find the value of L

L=14.656+14=28.656\ m

therefore

The dimensions are

The length is 28.656 m and the width is 14.656 m
