The client with chronic hypertension with a current blood pressure reading of 182/98 mmHg should be managed first. According to the AHA guidelines for hypertension, this is considered as a hypertensive urgency and should be managed first by having the patient lie down comfortably and reassessing the blood pressure again. If there is no improvement, the patient should be referred to a physician and a rapid blood pressure lowering drug should be given (i.e. Clonidine 75 mcg tablet sublingually up to 3 doses every 15 minutes). The patient with right-sided heart failure with edema can be treated non-urgently or as out-patient with diuretics. The patient asking for a refill can be entertained last.

Abiogenesis refers to how living organisms arose from inanimate matter. Place the sentences in order according to how life on Ea
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

(A) -> (D) -> (C) -> (B)

Explanation:

First off, given that the problem requires us to explain how life on Earth may have arisen <u>from terrestrial origins</u>, we can discard sentence (E), as impacts from meteorites would count as extraterrestrial origins.

Then it's just a matter of describing the steps by which simple compounds turned into more and more complex structures, that would in turn lead to the origin of life.

Simple inorganic compounds (such as CO₂, or NH₃) were exposed to energy, because of that they formed simple organic molecules, like carbohydrates or amino acids.

These organic molecules, in turn, would self-assemble into more complex structures, such as proteins.

Lastly, there's the phenomenon of Compartmentalization, where large organic structures became enclosed within a membrane-like structure, separating them from the 'outside' medium and thus creating primitive cells.

Which type of asexual reproduction involves duplication of the parent DNA before dividing itself into two?
Kipish [7]

Answer:

binary fission - asexual reproduction by a separation of the body into two new bodies. In the process of binary fission, an organism duplicates its genetic material, or deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), and then divides into two parts (cytokinesis), with each new organism receiving one copy of DNA.

Marat540 [252]

Answer:

3 North poles and 3 South poles

Explanation:

A magnet is a piece of object that produces a magnetic field outside itself. A magnet has a north pole and a south pole. Similar poles repel each other, while opposite poles attract each other.

If a magnet of 10cm is broken into 3 pieces, we will have 3 pieces of magnet. Breaking a magnet does not destroy the properties of the magnet. Rather, each piece becomes a full magnet with both north and south poles.

Breaking a 10cm magnet will give us 3 magnets with 3 north and 3 south poles with equal pole strength.
