<span>RATIONALE: </span>
<span>The patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) develops a barrel chest over time because trapped air enlarges the lungs and thoracic cavity, thereby reducing chest flexibility. Sunken chest, also known as funnel chest or pectus excavatum, is not related to COPD. Hyperventilation is not characteristically seen with COPD. Instead, the patient usually displays persistent dyspnea on exertion, with or without a chronic cough. Circumoral cyanosis is a bluish discoloration of the skin surrounding the mouth. It is usually an indication of a severely diminished level of oxygen and respiratory distress. Circumoral cyanosis can result from a variety of respiratory diseases and may be a late sign of the COPD disease process.

agasfer [191]

Answer:

Not following the theory completely.

Explanation:

According to Talcott Parson's Role Theory, there are two aspects to it, the patient has rights and also obligations.

The theory states that the patient can not be blamed for their illness and they have the right to be treated with patience. But the patient also has to acknowledge the disease and make efforts towards getting the right treatment and getting better without solely depending on people around.

In the example given in the question, Melinda is clearly not fulfilling her responsibilities in terms of seeking treatment and making efforts.

I hope this answer helps.

Which zone in the ocean is the most challenging to survive in?
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The Bathyal zone is the hardest to survive in.

Explanation:

Technically, the entire ocean is difficult to survive in. There's no oxygen and lots of scary ocean predators.

But the Bathyal zone, which is 1000 - 4000 meters below the surface of the ocean has no sunlight, making most of the sea creatures there have no eyes. Because this zone is so dark, with little food to survive in, fish don't hang out here.

(I suggest just staying home)

The pedigree below shows the inheritance of a dominant allele of a gene in a family over several generation. Circles represent f
olga nikolaevna [1]

Complete question:

You will find the pedigree in the attached files

Answer:

The correct option is C) <em>maternal mitochondrial mutations are inherited by </em><u><em>all of a mother's offspring</em></u><em>.</em>

Explanation:  

Mitochondrial inheritance is one of the ways in which a disease or a trait might be inherited from the maternal line.

Most of the DNI is located in the nucleus, but there is also DNI in mitochondria. Sperm cells hardly carry mitochondria, so mitochondrial DNI is mostly inherited from the maternal side. If there exists any mutation in this DNI, the whole progeny of the mutated woman will be affected, as they will get the mother´s mitochondria carrying the mutation. On the contrary, if there is a man affected by a disease caused by a mutation in mitochondrial DNI, non of their descendants will get the disease.

<em>In the exposed pedigree, we can see that the mother is affected by the disease, but the couple had two daughters, and only one of them was affected, while the other one was not. This tells us that the mutation occurred on a nuclear chromosome. If the mutated allele was in mitochondria, both daughters would be affected. </em>

The oceans cover about 70 percent of the Earth's surface. Ocean water contains salts and we say that ocean water has a certain s
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The salt in the oceans comes from weathering and the erosion of the earth's crust.

Explanation:

The weathering can be described as the breaking down of rocks.

During the weathering of rocks, minerals will be dissolved from the land and salt is one of them. These minerals (salt included) will then be delivered into the oceans by erosion of the Earth's crust.

Erosion can be aided by wind, ice or water. Erosion removed weathered materials. When these weathered materials are removed, new materials (rocks) will be exposed to weathering thereby promoting continuous weathering processes
