To regulate temperature and blood circulation/keep your body hydrated
Answer:
The best answer to the question: You should suspect:___, would be, A: moderate dehydration.
Explanation:
This is a 6-month old baby who has been with diarrhea and vomiting for two days. He presents a lessened level of activity, a heart rate of 140 bpm and whose anterior fontanelle appears shrunken due to the loss of water and electrolytes. However, there are also good news: the baby has not had either emesis, or diarrheic episodes for at least 12 hours.
Taking these symptoms into consideration we can say that the child has moderate, and not severe dehydration, or even worse, hypovolemic shock, because his heart rate, which would be one of the most clear indications of severe dehydration, is still within the normal ranges for a child of that age (80 to 160 bpm for children between 2 and 11 months). Also, the child has reduced levels of activity, but there is still presence of activity and he is still concious. Finally, the fontanelle´s situation, although worrisome, is indicative that the volumes in the child are low, but can be brought back up easily enough since he has not presented another episode in 12 hours.

<span>The question says,'how long can it take before HIV symptoms are detected. The correct option is B, that is a couple of weeks. The most early symptoms of HIV infection usually show up between two to four weeks after the infection. This is due to the fact that it takes time for the virus to destroy enough body cells to the extent of generating the symptoms that accompany the infection. In some individuals, the symptoms may take up to three months before they occur, this is because HIV virus affect people differently. After the initial symptoms, the person may be living well for the next ten year before serious sysmptoms start to show up again.</span>
