Answer: 

Providing analgesia during the last days, and hours, is an ethically- appropriate nursing action.



Explanation:

All clients, regardless of age, have the right to die with dignity, and be free from pain. The parents have the right to request an opioid to relieve the child's distress. Assisted suicide requires some action on the part of the client, and this is not possible for a one- month old infant.  Both the nurse and the parents have an ethical duty to the child. Withholding the opioid analgesic from a dying child is not appropriate, because, of fear it may hasten death, at any age, and this is not considered a contradiction for administering of analgesia.


Hope it helps.

1. Suzie's hypothesis (i.e. prediction of results) is that ferns which are placed in white light will grow to a taller height after two weeks than ferns which are placed in other coloured light or in a closet.

2. Her independent variable (the thing she changes to produce a result) is the kind of light that she places each plant in.

3. The dependent variable (the thing she measures) is the height of the plants after two weeks.

4. I would say her control group would be the plant placed in the closet, because every other group is exposed to some form of light.

5. I would say that Suzie has 4 experimental groups: white, red, blue, and green light.

6. The constant variables were the amount of water each plant was given, the initial height of the plants, the age of the plants, the species of fern, and what she planted the ferns in.

7. To determine how each fern did, Suzie could measure the height in addition to noting the appearance of all the plants. E.g. did any look paler than the others?

densk [106]

Answer:

Option (B) is the correct answer of the following question.

Explanation:

Collagens are a family of enzymes that perpetuate and protect many of the body's tissues, with the exception of connective tissue, femur, fibula, pigmentation, and the caucasian eye (optic disc). It would be the best choice on which to base the phylogeny.

  • The first and most concentrated substance in the body is the collagen genes.
  • It is a large, indigestible cellular muscle which maintains organisms and gives internal cells a texture.
  • Collagen is also an essential part of the crisscrossing membrane neurons.

Other options are incorrect because they are not related to the given scenario.

What is the important of water​
crimeas [40]

Answer:

Our bodies use water in all the cells, organs, and tissues, to help regulate body temperature and maintain other bodily functions. Because our bodies lose water through breathing, sweating, and digestion, it's crucial to rehydrate and replace water by drinking fluids and eating foods that contain water.
