A systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a condition whereby the immune system attacks the body, confusing it with something foreign. When this patient complains that his hands become pale, blue and painful when exposed to cold, the disease that the nurse should cite in as an explanation for these signs and symptoms is Raynaud's disease. This disease causes areas of your body to numb whenever someone has stress on in the events of being exposed to extreme cold temperatures. The blood vessels narrows and limiting the blood circulation to the affected areas. This effect is called vasospam.
Answer:
Regarding pathogens, the statement that is true is that viruses cannot reproduce on their own.
Explanation:
Viruses are pathogenic agents not considered as living beings, since they are only constituted by genetic material surrounded by a viral capsid, besides not fulfilling vital functions.
These agents are unable to reproduce on their own, so they need to place their genetic material —DNA or RNA— inside a host cell, to modify its nuclear DNA and be able to reproduce.
The other options are not correct because:
- <u><em>Influenza can cause an upset stomach</em></u><em>. Influenza primarily affects the respiratory system.</em>
- <u><em>Pathogens affect everyone equally.</em></u><em> Each individual's immune response is different when exposed to the same pathogen.
</em>
- <u><em>Fungi are large, stoneflies organisms</em></u><em>. The pathogenic fungi, such as Candida albicans and Trichophyton, are different from the mushrooms and fungi that can be seen in soil or decomposed organic matter.</em>
Answer:
d. Training to relax when confronted with anxiety-arousing stimuli
Explanation:
Systematic desensitization is a type of technique used in cognitive therapy and it is based on the principle of classical conditioning.
The goal of this technique is to remove a phobia or a stimuli that causes anxiety and substitute it with a relaxation response.
This technique has three phases:
- The patient is taught deep relaxation and breathing exercises.
- The patient creates a fear hierarchy starting at stimuli that provoke the least anxiety and building up to the most fear provoking ones.
- The patient starts at the bottom of the hierarchy with the least unpleasant stimuli and practices the relaxation technique.
The patient practices this relaxation until the stimuli doesn't provoke any anxiety and then he continues with the next stimuli in the hierarchy until he reaches the top stimuli and the anxiety is removed.
Therefore, we can say that relaxation when confronted with anxiety-arousing stimuli is a really important part of systematic desensitization. Therefore, the correct answer is d. Training to relax when confronted with anxiety-arousing stimuli
This is all of them i believe...
Sexual equality is when both biological sexes, regardless
of gender, are in egalitarian state in terms of all the benefits opportunities
in the society. It is very important because discrimination between the sexes
and the creation of introjected gender roles had sprouted to societal issues
such as discrimination, sexism and even the spread of HIV where a person
believes that his/her sex is dominant over the other.
