This kind of exposure is called caustic exposure.

Explanation:

A caustic exposure is an exposure to chemicals present in common household cleaning products like detergents, cleaning solutions, drain cleaners etc.

These contain caustic substances (strong concentration of acid or base) like sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid etc. When exposed directly on to the skin, due to its stronger concentration, it may burn the skin causing redness, irritation, numbness, or blackening of the skin surface.

Most of the times, these marks go away after some weeks because they are superficial or first-degree burn where only the epidermal layer of the skin gets affected.

Some patients are more difficult to interact with than others. Explore the web for tips on dealing with patients who can be more
Artemon [7]
Hello!

The first thing you will want to do is engage them in conversation, think about it. If you were upset, and someone was talking to you and asking questions about you, wouldn't that cheer you up? Secondly, you will want to avoid saying that the patient is wrong, or arguing back and forth with the patient. This would lead to further confrontation and could cause them to injure their self further from being too frustrated. Lastly, you would want to show sympathy for them. Let them know that you feel sorry for them and that you are there for their every need. Let them know that you care and are willing to help them. Your last resort would want to be to physically hold them down as this could injure them, discomfort them and aggravate them further. 

I hope this helped!

I am, yours most sincerely,

2. Which fertilization and development method is most typical of humans before birth occurs?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Humans are higher eukaryotic organisms, which give birth to live young. They show internal fertilization and internal development of fetus (inside the body of female). Fertilization takes place near the fallopian tube, present in the female body, during which male gamete (sperm) fuses with female gamete (egg) to form zygote. The zygote gets attached to the uterine wall, where it develops into embryo, and later on, into fetus. The fetus lives in uterus and gets nutrition from mother until birth. Thus, in humans, 'internal fertilization and internal development' are most typical methods before birth.
