Clamp the tube

- Clamping the tube will increase the pressure on the gastric sutures from a concentration of gas and fluid.
2. Consider this an expected event.

- As a result of the trauma of surgery, some bleeding can be predictable for 4 to 5 hours.
3. Instill the tube with iced normal saline.

- Iced saline rarely is used because it grounds for vasoconstriction, local ischemia, and a decrease in body temperature.
4. Notify the client's surgeon of this finding

- This is not essential; this is an anticipated occurrence.

Why should/shouldn't Pluto be reclassified as a planet?​
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

(This could be opinion based, but ok.)

Explanation:

should:Pluto was known as a planet for 75 years. This means that most people already knew it as a planet, and would be extremely confused. All of the books about planets would be inaccurate and changed. Not all people can access brand new books, leading to inaccurate information.

shouldn't: The same reason that it was unclassified as a planet. It does not adhere to all of the rules of being a planet. It is not completely round and does not have a round orbit around the sun. Pluto does not have every requirement to be a real planet, and therefor, it would be incorrect to have it classified wrongly.

Prescribe how mountains change in abiotic conditions with an increase in elevations
olga55 [171]
The first famous natural scientist to determine how plants change with altitude on tall mountains was Alexander Von Humboldt and Aime Bonpland when climbing some very high volcanoes in South America like Chimborazo at well ove 20,000 feet high and they observed that different plants grow at different altitudes as altitude increases so that as the mountain was ascended the new environments of temperature, moisture,etc would become abiotic for the lower plants but acceptable for the higher elevation plants. In these cases in South America, the lower elevations had very warm temperatures and high humidity so would grow tropical plants with probably large leaves like palm trees etc. On the other hand at high elevations the temperature would be significantly decreased and probably humidity decreased too so only rugged plants like say lichens could grow. At intermediate elevations, most likely say pine trees could grow as I know they do at moderate elevations in Honduras for example.
