Alcohol abuse is a general term for any level of risk, from increased drinking to alcohol dependence. Alcohol abuse can cause physical or mental health damage, even in the absence of addiction, so it is normal for your friend to be concerned that your sister may be living in alcohol abuse.

In this case, to find out if your friend's sister is living with alcohol abuse, the best thing to do is to see if she has:

  • Strong desire or compulsion to drink;
  • Difficulties in controlling alcohol intake in relation to its onset, termination, or amount;
  • Psychological change when alcohol use is stopped or reduced, or alcohol is used to relieve or prevent symptoms of psychological change.
  • Evidence of tolerance as increasing doses to achieve the same effects as previous lower doses;
  • Progressive loss of interest in previously performed activities or other sources of pleasure due to alcohol use;
  • Continued use even with clear evidence of harmful consequences.

After noticing these factors, your friend should talk to his sister, ask her what's going on, present the dangers that alcohol brings to her life, and ask if she wants professional help to quit this addiction.

A client comes to the clinic with what appears to be a cold. What group of upper respiratory drugs cause local vasoconstriction,
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Topical nasal decongestants

Explanation:

   Nasal decongestants are vasoconstricting substances (like: naphazoline, phenoxazoline, oxymetatazoline, phenylephrine, pseudoephredine) that provide almost immediate relief to breathe. They act making the vessels contract, blood flow slows, shrinks swollen membranes, mucus production is low, and people can breathe normally again because these substances improve the air flow.

   Topical nasal decongestant treat nasal congestion to relieve symptoms in colds, nasal allergic conditions, and rhinitis. However, these medications can cause health problems due to improper and excessive use, and major adverse events arising from their use.

With a brief scenario that would require CPR being used. Include necessary details that a responder would need to consider when
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, which is commonly known by its acronym CPR, is a form of basic life support that is applied during a life-threatening emergency. Situations that call for CPR include cardiac arrest, near-drowning incidents, suffocation, or any in which a person is not breathing

Explanation:

The person giving CPR — called a rescuer — follows three main steps, which are known as C-A-B:

C: Do chest compressions.

A: Check the airway.

B: Do rescue breathing.

What Are Chest Compressions?

The rescuer presses on the person's chest many times in a row to move blood out of the heart that has stopped beating.

What Is Checking the Airway?

The rescuer, after doing 30 chest compressions, checks the airway by listening and looking to see if the person is breathing.

What Is Rescue Breathing?

Rescue breathing helps to move oxygen, which everyone needs to live, down into the lungs of the person who isn't breathing. If the person is not breathing, TWO rescue breaths are given.

When Should Someone Use CPR?

The steps in CPR (compressions, airway, and breathing) should be used whenever someone is not breathing and when their heart is not beating.

What Should I Do First if an Emergency Happens?

If an emergency happens or someone becomes very sick while you're around, do your best to stay calm.

First, try to get the person to respond by gently shaking their shoulder and asking, "Are you OK?"

If the person doesn't respond and someone nearby is certified (trained) in CPR, they can begin CPR. If you're alone, shout for help or call 911 yourself.

Who Should Learn CPR?

Some people need to know how to perform CPR to do their jobs. Many medical people — from nurses and doctors to paramedics and emergency medicine technicians — must know CPR.

Lifeguards, childcare workers, school coaches, and trainers usually have to learn CPR. Many parents know how to perform CPR on kids in case of emergency.

Many people — maybe you — might want to learn how to do CPR just in case they need to use it someday. You can never tell when a medical emergency will happen and it's good to know that you could help.

How Can I Learn CPR?

The American Red Cross, American Heart Association, and the National Safety Council all offer CPR courses. You also might find CPR classes at your local hospital, places of worship, the YMCA, or your school.
