How can you use your personal choices to exercise more safely?

You are alone and have identified an adult who is not responsive. You have called 911. What is the next step in CPR?

Shalnov [3]

The right answer is B. Begin chest compressions.

Chest compression is a first aid gesture that occurs under two circumstances:

** the victim is conscious and chokes (total obstruction of the upper airways) but can not practice Heimlich's method (example of a pregnant woman or an obese person, or an infant on which the method Mofenson failed, or an unconscious victim for whom the insufflations do not pass); the purpose here is to cause an overpressure in the lungs to dislodge the foreign body;

** the victim is unconscious, does not breathe and his heart is no longer beating, the chest compressions are used here to circulate the blood; alternating thirty chest compressions and two breaths (mouth-to-mouth); all artificial ventilation / cardiac massage is called cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).

One important concept to know that was not mentioned in the question or in the propositions is that there has to be a cardiopulmonary arrest to start the chest compression because there is we may have an unconscious victim who does not respond but breathes!

6. You can practice mindfulness, listen to how your body is feeling, attend all check ups etc.
7. You can talk to friends and family about it. Especially if it’s someone you know is experiencing trouble with weight/body image.
8. Social Media plays a big role in the concerns we have for our health by spotlighting unrealistic body image for both genders, and by glamorizing things such as eating disorders.
9. Yes, I am comfortable with how fit i am right now.
10. for both eating and exercise routines, whats helped me the most is mainly consistency. For eating...2 fruits a day, 3 meals, and at least 48 ounces of water. For exercise...going on at least a mile run every single day, 1 hour of workouts in the garage

7. Identify chemical products commonly used for intermediate and low-level surface disinfection, and explain the

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Disinfection is a process in which bacteria, cysts, other microorganisms etc. are killed or inactivated by various chemicals.

Explanation:

Low-level clean -- used to disinfect items that are not critical that come into contact with skin. This includes: patient-care devices that would be used on more than one patient on a work day, hard surfaces, beds, blood pressure device, etc. For this type of cleaning, Ammonium compounds are used. For waiting rooms, exam rooms, patients bed... It is able to kill amoebas, molds, microbes, most of the viruses, fungi...

In low-level cleaning, Ethyl or isopropyl alcohol (70-90%) is used.

It's also called rubbing alcohol. It can be found in many households and hospitals.

Advantage: it removes bad bugs, ticks, kills fruit flies, removes stains...

Disadvantage: it can cause nausea, vomiting, nose and throat irritations, even difficulties with breathing.

Intermediate level clean -- disinfectants that belong to this type of cleaning are usually used to clean some of the critical items that can potentially be on a person. Like clothing, workwear or anything that can get in touch with bacteria or blood borne pathogens. For this type of cleaning, alcohol can be used. Bleach, as it is often used to disinfect clothing in healthcare facilities. A blend of bleach and hydrogen peroxide, they attack more complex bacteria than bleach alone.

To use this type of disinfection, a person must use equipment such as gloves, long-sleeved clothes, googles etc.

Those two are very good methods, but are not 100 % effective.Disinfection usually kills around 99% of any harmful bacteria, but sterilization generally kills 100%. The process of disinfecting a surface intends to kill all the microorganisms that produce diseases, which still remain on the surface. Disinfection is a good method of cleaning, but it can't be mistaken for sterilization. <em>It is a process in which all forms of life are totally destroyed.</em>

Phenolic germicidal detergent solution -- it is a detergent that's based on iodophor and it has a great impact in destroying bacteria and viruses. It is used for floors, counter tops, walls etc.

Bleach and bleach based products, hydrogen peroxide.

Advantages: it removes bacteria, stains, kills germs...

Disadvantages: it is very corrosive, which means it can leave skin very irritated. If it's mixed with other cleaning products, it will react and cause dangerous gases -- like chlorine and ammonia.
