<span>The 16th-century Spanish explorer Francisco Vázquez de Coronado (c. 1510-1554) was serving as governor of an important province in New Spain (Mexico) when he heard reports of the so-called Seven Golden Cities located to the north. In 1540, Coronado led a major Spanish expedition up Mexico’s western coast and into the region that is now the southwestern United States. Though the explorers found none of the storied treasure, they did discover the Grand Canyon and other major physical landmarks of the region, and clashed violently with local Indians. With his expedition labeled a failure by Spanish colonial authorities, Coronado returned to Mexico, where he died in 1554.

</span>

By 1540, reports brought back from explorations made by Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca and confirmed by missionary Marcos de Niza convinced Mendoza of the presence of vast riches to the north, located in the so-called Seven Golden Cities of Cíbola. Excited by the prospect of such immense wealth, Coronado joined Mendoza as an investor in a major expedition, which he himself would lead, of some 300 Spaniards and more than 1,000 Indians, along with many horses, pigs, ships and cattle. The main thrust of the expedition departed in February 1540 from Compostela, the capital of Nueva Galicia.

Four arduous months later, Coronado led an advance group of cavalrymen to the first city of Cíbola, which in reality was the Zuni Pueblo town of Hawikuh, located in what would become New Mexico. When the Indians resisted Spanish efforts to subdue the town, the better-armed Spaniards forced their way in and caused the Zunis to flee; Coronado was hit by a stone and wounded during the battle. Finding no riches, Coronado’s men set out on further explorations of the region. During one of these smaller expeditions, García López de Cárdenas became the first European to sight the Grand Canyon on the Colorado River in what is now Arizona. Another group, led by Pedro de Tovar, traveled to the Colorado Plateau.

Client asks the nurse why two cancer medications are needed. The nurse's best explanation is that the two medications work during different phases of the cell.

Cancers are any of the many diseases that are characterized by the expansion of abnormal cells that divide uncontrollably, have the ability to invade, and cause harm to healthy bodily tissue. Cancer has a tendency to spread throughout your body. Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality worldwide.

A malignancy may begin to press against or spread to nearby organs, blood vessels, or nerves. This pressure contributes to some of the symptoms and indicators of cancer.

When a target behavior comes under the restricted control of an irrelevant antecedent stimulus, it is an example of:_______.A) O
Tom [10]

Answer:

B) Faulty stimulus control.

Explanation:

This term is a psychological term which directly explains when a target behaviour is seen to come under the restriction control of certain irrelevant stimulus that are tagged to be antecedent. It sometimes forms a description of situations in which a behavior is triggered by the presence or absence of some stimulus. This is easily seen when a person loves to always eats when watching TV, then (in the operant conditioning use of the term) eating behavior is controlled by the stimulus of watching TV. Also some certain behaviors of lab animals are easily brought under control of such stimuli, and that is where the concept of stimulus control originated. Therefore, in this case, a lot of behavior is controlled by signals, which are antecedents to behavior, not consequences.

AlekseyPX
The answer to this question is operant conditioning.
Operant conditioning is based on exposing someone to possitive stimuli if they display desired behavior and expose them to negative stimuli if they displaye unwanted behavior.
Eventually, they will associate the negative stimuli with unwanted behavior and naturally avoid it.
