When checking a victim during a secondary assessment you notice changes in her loc. what does the c stand for in loc?

1 answer:

3 0

I believe LOC stands for the level of consciousness. Thus C stands for Consciousness.
Th purpose of a secondary assessment is to identify and care for conditions that are not life threatening. Other objective may be to conduct a more thorough examination than in the primary assessment, also identify and treat any missed life threatening conditions among others. The basic assessment includes the level of Consciousness, response to verbal stimulation, A.V.P.U, responsive to painful stimulation, GCS, LOA, and unresponsive to painful stimulation.

If you have a pet cockroach with a brown body, how could you find out if it is

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

by testcrossing with a homozygous recessive partner

Explanation:

If a pet cockroach exists whose zygosity is unknown, this can be determined by a test cross. A test cross involves crossing an organisms whose zygosity is unknown with a partner that is homozygous recessive for the same trait.

Let us assume that brown body is represented by the allele B, the dominant allele. The homozygous recessive version would be bb.

The genotype of a brown cockroach whose zygosity is not known can be denoted as B_, where '_' can be a 'B' or a 'b'.

When B_ is crossed with bb:

B_ x bb

Progeny

2 Bb

2 _b

The phenotype of Bb would be brown (since B is dominant over b) while the phenotype of _b would depend on the zygosity level of the cockroach.

If the unknown genotype is BB, then _b becomes Bb and the phenotype will be a brown body. This means that all the progeny will appear brown. (see the first attached image for the Punnet's square)

In other word, if the unknown genotype is bb, then _b becomes bb and the phenotype will be a alternate color (non-brown) body. This means that 50% of the progeny will appear brown while the remaining 50% will be in the alternate color. (attached

Listeriosis is of particular concern for pregnant women because pregnant women are more likely than other population groups to g

Igoryamba

Answer:

The correct answer is ''All of the choices are correct.''

Explanation:

Pregnant women are a risk group for listeriosis, the disease caused by the Listeria monocytogenes bacteria found in contaminated food. This organism can cross the placenta and affect the fetus. Due to the decrease in cellular immunity, pregnant women are part of the population at risk and are 17-20 times more likely to develop listeriosis after the consumption of contaminated food and it usually occurs from the third trimester and appears as a disease mild with not very high fever, joint and muscle pain. Listeriosis can cause miscarriages during the first three months of pregnancy. As the third trimester is reached, the mother is at greater risk. It presents a 40-50% fetal or neonatal mortality. In the first or second trimester it produces septic abortions and intrauterine fetal death, in the third trimester she produces chorioamnionitis and premature labor. In 1/3 cases it can occur asymptomatically in the fetus / neonate. In newborns, listeriosis can cause blood infections and meningitis.
