Answer: False

Explanation:

Epiglottis is a flat made of elastic cartilage which is found in the throat of the organism. It performs main function by preventing the food from entering into the wind pipe.

This elastic cartilage is covered by mucous membrane which is attached to the larynx.

Epiglottis opens during the breathing condition and it closes when we ingest food so as to prevent the food from entering into the windpipe.

Hopefully this is right:
Comes in through superior and inferior vena cava, then enters right atrium, then tricuspid valve and into the right ventricle. Then the deoxygenated blood gets pumped through the pulmonary artery to the lungs. Oxygenated blood comes back through pulmonary vein and into left atrium. Then goes through mitral valve and into left ventricle which then pumps the blood through aorta.

A client expresses interest in having an intrauterine device (IUD) placed for contraception. Which finding noted in the health history would indicate to the nurse that this would not be an appropriate contraceptive option <u>Bicornate uterus</u>

<h3>What is intrauterine device ?</h3>

A small, frequently T-shaped birth control device called an intrauterine device (IUD), sometimes known as an intrauterine contraceptive device (IUCD or ICD), or coil, is put into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. IUDs are one type of reversible long-acting birth control (LARC).  According to one study, women who provide family planning services more frequently (41.7%) than the general public (12.1%) choose LARC methods. IUDs and other contraceptive implants are the birth control devices that give users the most satisfaction.

Both teenagers and individuals who have never had children can safely and effectively use IUDs. Even after prolonged use, fertility quickly returns to normal after an IUD is removed.

How much Dextrose 70% must be mixed with Dextrose 5% to prepare 1,000mL of Dextrose 20%? *
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

231 ml

Explanation:

Let x represent the amo unt of Dextrose 70% in ml and y represent the amount of Dextrose 5% in ml needed to prepare 1,000mL of Dextrose 20%.

Since 1000 ml of Dextrose 20% is needed, hence:

x + y = 1000       (1)

Also 70% Dextrose is mixed with 5% dextrose to produce 20% dextrose. i.e.:

70% of x + 5% of y = 20% of 1000

0.7x + 0.05y = 200    (2)

We have to solve equations 1 and 2 simultaneously.

Let us multiply equation 2 by 20:

14x + y = 4000        (3)

subtract equation 1 from 3:

13x = 3000

x = 231 ml

Put x = 231 in equation 1 to find y:

231 + y = 1000

y = 769 ml

Therefore 231 ml of Dextrose 70% must be mixed with 769 ml of Dextrose 5% to prepare 1,000mL of Dextrose 20%? *
