Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

Head injuries may be penetrating head injury or closed head injury.

A major concern for health professionals regarding intracranial injuries resulting from closed head traumas, is the management of intracranial pressure. Elevated intracranial pressure have negative effects on the brain and immediate management of raised intracranial pressure is important to avoid cerebral edema, intracranial hematoma, brain herniation and even death.

The usual procedures in the management of head injury include elevating the head to about 30 degrees. This position promotes cerebral venous drainage and decreases intracranial venous pressure and intracranial pressure as well.

This is helpful because when the patient is left in the horizontal position, the intracranial pressure becomes significantly higher and the have fatal consequences.

kramer

Answer:

The Temperate Deciduous Forest is a biome that is always changing. It has four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and fall. Constant rainfall and daylight saving hours also contribute.

Explanation:

Temperate deciduous forests get between 30 and 60 inches of precipitation a year, this helps keep the forest lush and green. When it comes to daylight savings in the fall, lack of sunlight can affect photosynthesis and the amount of sun the plant gets. Unlike the amazon forest, the temperate biome goes through all 4 seasons and has plant regeneration in the spring instead of constant vegitation.

Hope this helps :)
