Answer:

The correct answer is the duodenum.

Explanation:

Pancreatic juice is an alkaline fluid which contains important enzymes for the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.  

Pancreatic juice is secreted by the pancreas when food enters the stomach which is released into the "duodenum" of the small intestine. The pancreatic juice enters duodenum through a pancreatic duct which joins with the bile duct coming from the liver and form "ampulla of Vater" in the duodenum.

Pancreatic juice helps in digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats as it contains pro-enzymes and enzymes like trypsinogen, chymotrypsinogen, lipase and many more. It also makes the acidic stomach solution alkaline due to the presence of HCO₃.

Thus, the duodenum is the correct answer.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

The nurse has taught the parents the following instructions:

  • Give tepid baths with mild soap .
  • Keep child's nails well-trimmed

Explanation:

Atopic dermatitis (eczema):

It is defined as a condition that results in the inflammation, redness and itchiness of the skin.  It is a chronic condition and usually children suffer from it. It is recommended to keep your skin moisturized by using the creams or ointments prescribed by the doctor.

In our case, the nurse has given the instruction to parents to apply the emollient immediately after the bath to avoid the dryness of skin otherwise it can cause the itchiness of the skin. Similarly mild soap also keep your skin soft and fresh as the ingredients like Aloe Vera, olive oil etc. The trimmed nails prevent you to make rashes on your skin because you can make new rashes on skin in the case of itching.
