<span>When assessing a conscious patient who overdosed on a drug, you should first determine the type of medication ingested.
First of all you need to see what pills or actual drugs this person used so as to see how dangerous the situation is. Based on the medication they overdosed on, you will know what to do next, because not all medications are harmful, but on the other hand, some can be deadly. </span>

A strong emotional response is better than logical reasoning because the other party involved will see how passionate you really
Sergio [31]

Answer:

haha, that's false

Explanation:

just because you feel strongly about something doesn't mean that's it's correct.

most of the time, feelings don't have evidence to support an answer on a test or why someone's dog is dying. Or why some new parents don't vaccinate their kids (if they have that option, some babies can't tolerate the vaccine but most can).

Giving a person a logical explanation just sounds more mature and will leave you correct most of the time (if you know what you talking about and have studied on the subject). Example: more evidence with a logical explanation, has proven that vaccinating your kids is actually super healthy for them. they actually have stats and everything that proves it. Whereas someone who is going purely by emotion to explain why vaccinating your newborn is bad... isn't going to get them very far since there really is no evidence against it.

hope this helps

Soloha48 [4]
<span>
In the presence of oxygen, one glucose molecule has the energy to make up to 38 ATP. The ATP production is determined by the following steps, (-2 ATP) glycolysis preparatory phase, (7-9 ATP) glycolysis pay-off phase, (5 ATP) oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate and (20 ATP) Krebs cycle. One glucose which has 38 ATP hence was the summation of all the process mentioned that took place.  All these process take place under the cellular function of cellular respiration.<span>
