If someone says do 5 reps of 20 push-ups yo do 20 push-ups then take a little break and do that 5 times

Reps is short-hand for "repetitions" so it is how many times you repeat the same exercise in a set.
number of sets in turn is how many time you repeat the whole "set" So like the example mentioned in the other ans, to do 5 sets of 20 reps for push-ups mean u will be doing 5x20=100 pushups.

Which type of burn is BEST described in the text below?

earnstyle [38]

C. Third-degree burn would be the right answer!

Third Degree burns, or full thickness burns, come with exposure to a heat source of more than a few seconds. The symptoms would then be:

•Max loss of skin

•Reduced feeling

•Almost whitish

A. First-degree burn would be wrong

The least severe burns are those that affect only the outermost layers of the skin (epidermis). After the initial shock, a first degree burn is the equivalent of a minor sunburn. Common symptoms of this would be:

•Reddish skin

•White border

•Some pain

B. Second-degree burn would also be wrong

The skin layer beneath the epidermis is called the “dermis.” It is the area that produces what eventually becomes the epidermis. When the dermis is burned – even slightly – it becomes a second degree (or partial thickness) burn.Once healed, scarring is a possibility. Symptoms of this may be:

•Blisters

•Scarring

•More pain

D. Fourth-degree burns would be wrong

These extend completely through the epidermis and dermis to underlying muscle and nerve endings and, as such, are extremely serious. When a victim experiences these types of burns, there may not be as much initial pain as that seen in third degree burns. This is attributed to the fact that the patient is likely in shock and damage is often done to nerve endings in the affected area as well as sweat glands, muscle tissue, hair follicles, and even bone.

The role of the health information manager in a substance abuse treatment facility often involves serving as the confidentiality

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

It is the duty of a health information manager in a substance abuse treatment to keep all the records of the patient confidential.

Explanation:

Physicians or the Consultants, does not have the liberty to disclose any type of information related to the patient to the outer world, until he wants to disclose it himself or gives the permission to his doctor to do so.

There is a federal law (42 CFR) which deals with protecting the privacy of substance abuse patients by preventing the unauthorized revelation of patients records except under few instances like:

Research purpose
Medical emergency
Upon court's order to disclose information

The federal confidentiality law and regulations protect the privacy of substance use disorder (SUD) patient records by prohibiting unauthorized disclosures of patient records except in limited circumstances

I need this answer thx

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

C... i think

Explanation:

he treatment involves implanting wires into the brain and a stimulator in the chest or abdomen.

The stimulator sends small electrical pulses to the wires along a connection lead under the skin. Doctors sometimes refer to the stimulator as a pacemaker.

The surgeons implant the wires into areas of the brain that are responsible for the symptoms of the particular condition. In the case of Parkinson's disease, for example, they implant them into the brain area that controls movement.

In the new American Journal of Psychiatry study, the surgeons had implanted the wires into the subcallosal cingulate (SCC).

The senior author of the study is Dr. Helen S. Mayberg, who is a professor of neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, and neuroscience at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York, NY, and founding director of its Nash Family Center for Advanced Circuit Therapeutics.

Prof. Mayberg and her team have been studying the SCC as a potential target for severe depression for more than a decade.

In a 2005 study, they showed how deep brain stimulation of the SCC could benefit people with severe depression that does not respond to other available treatments.

However, in a randomized clinical trial that took place at several centers, the investigators stopped the study early.

They did this because while the treatment appeared safe and feasible, there were no statistically significant improvements in depressive symptoms after 6 months.

In that trial, the researchers had compared the effect of the real treatment with that of a sham treatment. Neither the participants nor the people giving them the treatment knew who was in which group.

An example of a sham deep brain stimulation is one in which the implantation and monitoring of the stimulator are just like the real thing, but the device does not send pulses to the wires in the brain.

In the meantime, Prof. Mayberg and her team continued to follow participants from earlier investigations to see what happened over a longer period

Hope this helps darling!
