The nurse should explain that during surgery, an antibiotic prophylaxis is administered to prevent the incidence of surgical site infection. The use of antibiotic before the procedure is just one of many actions taken to help reduce the rate of wound infections. Furthermore, the initial dose must be given most likely within 30 minutes before incision. Then, the next dose is at one to two half-lives of the antibiotic, which is recommended for the duration of the surgery. Thus, appropriate timing of dose is essential to the effectiveness of the antibiotic.

This animal has a protostome developmental pattern and a trochophore larva. Identify the major clades that this animal belongs t
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Lophotrochozoans (it is a protostome)

Explanation:

Lophotrochozoa is a group (clade) of protostome animals, i.e. animals that undergo a developmental pattern in which the blastopore develops into the mouth. Lophotrochozoa clade includes bryozoans, annelids, molluscs, brachiopods, and platyhelminthes. Most lophotrochozoans have either a lophophore or trochophore larvae during the planktonic stage. A trochophore larva is a marine planktotrophic larva with several bands of cilia that form the locomotory organ (i.e., the prototroch), which is only found within the Lophotrochozoans.

Explain how gravitational contraction, radioactivity, and asteroid and meteorite bombardment heated early earth
Afina-wow [57]
The surface of the early Earth is often described as hellish by scientists. The high temperature is primarily attributed to the high levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the molten rock on the surface of the planet. However, these two aren't the only factors in play.  
Another factor that contributed to the extremely high temperature of the early earth is radioactivity. Radioactive decay of the isotopes found underground plus the left over heat from the formation of our planet produced high levels of radiogenic heat.
There's also the kinetic energy from falling asteroids and meteorites. Massive amounts of energy in the form of heat and sound is produced when asteroids and meteorites hit the Earth. Also, the pressure waves that travel radially outwards the center of the impact is similar to the impact of an atom bomb. As such, dust particles envelop the atmosphere, trapping the heat from the impact. 
The last factor is the gravitational contraction, it contributed to the hellish temperature of primordial Earth because the energy generated from such event is enough to trigger hydrogen fusion.

finlep [7]

Answer:

Riñones.

Explanation:

Los riñones son ​​dos órganos ubicados en la cavidad abdominal detrás del peritoneo, a la izquierda y derecha de la columna. Los riñones tienen la función de mantener constante la composición de la sangre, eliminando así las sustancias no deseadas disueltas, como los productos de desecho del metabolismo y los venenos y medicamentos absorbidos a través de los alimentos. El riñón también mantiene el equilibrio ácido del cuerpo a largo plazo, mediante el transporte de carbonato de hidrógeno e iones de hidrógeno. El producto que producen los riñones, una solución de sustancias que el cuerpo ya no puede usar, se llama orina.
