A reasonable conclusion supported by these observations is that the animal was endothermic and had a high metabolic rate.
<u>Explanation:</u>
With reference to warm-blooded species is preferred the endothermic are the species that preserve a steady body temperature regardless of the ambient temperature. Endothermic species mainly include animal kingdom birds and mammals. Many shrimp, however are endothermic too.
If a variation occurs, i.e. if the heat produced is less than the heat loss, the metabolic rate increases to compensate for that loss. Shivering is another method used by people and many other warm-blooded organisms to boost their body temperature. But in case the heat loss is smaller than the heat produced, the process of panting or suddening occurs to increase the heat loss.
It can be expected that there
will be closure of the patent ductus arteriosus for this is the effect of
indomethacin. The adverse effect would include platelet dysfunction, decrease
gasto-intestinal motility and an increase in necrotizing enterocolitis. With this,
the nurse should anticipate the possible outcomes where there will be increase
bleeding time and decrease gastro-intestinal function after giving
indomethacin.
