Per wikepedia: the arm of the condemned is swabbed with alcohol before the needle is inserted. along with its antiseptic use, the alcohol also causes the blood vessels to rise to the skin's surface, making it easier to insert the needle. the needles and equipment used are also sterilized. one reason for this is because the needles are standard medical products that are sterilized during manufacturing. also, there is a chance that the prisoner could receive a stay of execution after the needles have been inserted as happened in the case of james autry in october 1983 (he was executed eventually on 14 march 1984). finally, it would also be a hazard for those handling unsterile equipment.

Answer:

Target Heart Rate

Explanation:

Target heart rate is generally expressed as a percentage (usually between 50 percent and 85 percent) of your maximum safe heart rate. The maximum rate is based on your age, as subtracted from 220. So for a 50-year-old, maximum heart rate is 220 minus 50, or 170 beats per minute.

poizon [28]

Answer:

mesosystem

Explanation:

Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory is a meta-theory focused on a child's development. This theory indicates complex environmental 'layers' that have an effect on a child's development. Bronfenbrenner categorizes a person's environment into five systems: 1-microsystem (i.e., direct contact with the child, e.g., parents and siblings), 2-mesosystem (i.e., interactions between the microsystems in one's life), 3-exosystem (i.e., social structures that indirectly influence child's development), 4-macrosystem (i.e., cultural context), 5-chronosystem (i.e., transitions and shifts that influence development). A mesosystem comprises interactions between the microsystems in which the developing individual participates. In consequence, a girl’s face-to-face interaction with her siblings is part of her mesosystem because siblings form part of her microsystem and they have a direct influence on her development.
