1. "I can't believe this is happening right after my stomach surgery."

Explanation:

When blood flow is blocked due to formation of clots or other factors, the brain does not receive enough blood due to which there is obstruction in the flow of energy. This causes Ischemic Stroke in patients and must be treated immediately.

Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) dissolves blood clots and restores perfusion in clients with ischemic stroke.

It must be administered within a 3-4.5 hour window from appearance of symptoms for effective healing.

The nurse assesses for contraindications to tPA due to the risk of hemorrhage.

No history of intracranial hemorrhage or active bleeding should be present in the case of this patient.

ancestors of giraffes with shorter necks could not reach branches high up in trees for food. this led to selection for longer-ne
hichkok12 [17]

With shorter necks, giraffe ancestors could not reach food-containing branches on tall trees. This resulted in the directional selection of giraffes with longer necks.

 

<h3>Why is choosing a direction necessary? </h3>

It nearly appears obvious that the giraffe's long neck developed as a result of a lack of food in the lower branches of trees. The giraffe has a significant advantage because it is taller than any other mammal and can feed where few others can. 

When compared to modern giraffes, the giraffe's ancient predecessors had a shorter neck. The plants that were lying at a higher level were inaccessible to them. Giraffe phenotypes have changed in various ways, and now have long necks to reach vegetation that is higher up. The extreme form is chosen above other features in directional selection. It was decided to choose the long-necked giraffe over the short-necked.
