The question is incomplete, the complete question is:
A client with myasthenia gravis improves and is discharged from the hospital. The discharge medications include pyridostigmine bromide (Mestinon) 10 mg every six hours. The nurse evaluates that the drug regimen is understood when the client says, "I should:
1
Take the medication on an empty stomach."
2
Set an alarm so I take the medication on time."
3
Take my pulse rate before taking the medication."
4
Monitor for an increase in blood pressure after taking the medication."
Answer:
The correct answer is statement 2.
Explanation:
Pyridostigmine refers to an essential drug, which must be consumed on time, as a late or missed dose can lead to extreme neuromuscular and respiratory consequences or even death. Pyridostigmine should be consumed with a small concentration of food in order to inhibit gastric irritation.
It is not essential to take the pulse rate prior to taking the medication. Pyridostigmine may result in hypotension, however, not hypertension, which is not an indication of cholinergic crisis.
It is based on shared characteristics
Natural selection is nature’s way of keeping the best fit-to-live things alive, and so on continue to the next generations.
For example, if a rabbit has a limp, it is bound to be out run and eaten by a predator relatively early in its life (unless it is extremely lucky.) Because of this, it is unable to reproduce, and there genes that it contained to have its limp are unable to spread through inheritance. Natural selection goes both ways. For example, if a hawk has very god vision, it will be able to scope out its prey easily, so it will thrive. Therefore, when it produces offspring of its own, its trait of good eyesight will pass on to its offspring.
So, as enough time goes on, the bad traits will be weeded out and the good ones will remain.
Answer:
Three ways a scientist can reduce bias include: 1) Sampling a larger pool (assuming the subjects are human) in order to broaden recorded data. 2) Making sure to sample more than one group. This means to not just sample one's friends, etc.
