The propositions are:
1. "I realize it is important to take this medication because it will cure my anemia."
2. "I know many ways to protect myself from injury because I am at risk for seizures."
3. "I recognize that I may still need blood transfusions if my blood values are very low."
<span>4. "I understand that I will still have to take supplemental iron therapy with this medication."
</span>
The right answer is 1:
Erythropoietin is a substitution treatment for anemia in chronic renal failure, it will not cure the anemia.
Erythropoietin is a hormone released by kidneys, its role is to increase the production of red blood cells.
In chronic renal failure, the activity of the kidneys is decreased, so the erythropoietin released by the kidneys are too low, it could not handle by itself the production of red blood cells, that's why it need substitution treatment by erythropoietin supplement. But it will not "cure" the anemia because it is not a cause treatment (treatment of the real problem which is the renal failure).

1. There are five factors that influence our cardiorespiratory fitness that were discussed in the lecture. Selective and explain
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

1.Factors affecting include oxygen diffusion capacity of the lungs, cardiac output, oxygen transport capacity of the blood, capillary density of the muscles, and muscular mitochondria mass [3]. further depends on sex, age, genetics, body fat, medical conditions, and smoking [4–6].

2.When you exercise, heart rate increases to circulate more oxygen (via the blood) at a quicker pace. The more you exercise, the more efficient the heart becomes at this process, so you can work out harder and longer. Eventually, this lowers resting heart rate in fit people.

3.The best method to measure cardiorespiratory fitness is by measuring VO2Max, which is a calculation of how efficiently your body can transport and uitlize oxygen. To get an accurate measurement, expensive and extensive equipment is needed.

Difference between the reproductive health and mother hood​
Kipish [7]

Answer:

The reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, in all matters relating to the reproductive system and it's functions and processes.

Family planning is an alternative guarantee of safe Motherhood to the option of providing improved obstetric care. Motherhood is a state of being a mother, there are many sacrifices of being a Mother. Being responsible for your child before anything or anyone else.

klasskru [66]
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a medical treatment for patients where standard medicine is inadequate. Patients suffering from strokes, cerebral palsy and other diseases where the quality of life is diminished would greatly benefit in this type of treatment. HBOT bombards the body with oxygen, allowing the body to absorb it and replenishes the oxygen and eventually naturally heal it.

Answer:

Target Heart Rate

Explanation:

Target heart rate is generally expressed as a percentage (usually between 50 percent and 85 percent) of your maximum safe heart rate. The maximum rate is based on your age, as subtracted from 220. So for a 50-year-old, maximum heart rate is 220 minus 50, or 170 beats per minute.
