Answer:

10 MIN

Explanation:

People who appear to be absolutely normal are talking to their families, walking around the mall, watching a game when they suddenly have a cardiac arrest. In this case the ideal is to immediately start a resuscitation maneuver and call for medical help, however, this is a difficult situation and time is extremely determinant in the patient's survival.

Many experts claim that within 5 minutes, 50% of individuals who have suffered a cardiac arrest will be dead and thereafter 10% will die with every passing minute. So when all is said and done, in ten minutes everyone will be dead. Thus, we can state that 10 minutes would be a reasonable time to consider resuscitation interruption after complete resuscitation efforts without detectable heart rate.

A patient complains of a “stabbing pain and a burning sensation” in his left foot. the nurse notices that the foot is a lighter
lyudmila [28]
The answer that best completes the statement above is this: POSTERIOR TIBIAL. Based on the nurse's assessment, stabbing pain and burning sensation is reported as the subjective cue and the skin of the foot is lighter. Given this result, this would clearly mean that the artery in the left foot is being occluded. And the artery present here is the posterior tibial artery. The stabbing pain and burning sensation being felt of the patient is a result of lack of oxygen in the area since the blood can no longer circulate.
