Airida [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

C) Knee: reduced; arm: normal; abdomen: reduced

Explanation:

Elderly persons experience normal physiological changes associated with aging in all of their solid organ systems. Together, these changes lead to a diminished physiological reserve.

As a result of aging, elderly patients can have some parts of their bodies not functioning properly but does not mean they will not be present. Losing specific parts of the body is not peculiar to the elderly, several factors can be responsible for losing one's parts of the body.

Therefore, option C typifies the normal reflex profile of an elderly patient

A client is experiencing a sudden fluid shift as a result of diffusion. What variable most affects the rate of substance movemen
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Concentration, Temperature, Mass of Particle, Solvent /medium, surface area and permeability properties of membrane.

Explanation:

The random movement of particles causes the phenomenon called diffusion. The concentration gradients of particles pushes molecules in a direction such that molecules move from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration.

Diffusion is a passive process (not requiring the input of energy).

The following variables are factors that affects diffusion;

Concentration - down concentration gradient favours diffusion.

Temperature - temperature increases diffusion , the kinetic energy associated with each particle also increases. 

Mass/size of Particle - Smaller particles on the other hand will diffuse faster because they can move faster.

Solvent /medium Properties - Viscosity and density of the medium greatly affect diffusion. Highly viscous and dense medium slows down diffusion.

Diffusion can occur through a membrane. The two factors that are particular to diffusion through a membrane are surface area and permeability.
