Answer:

The correct option is: B) peristalsis

Explanation:

Peristalsis is the involuntary wave-like contractions and relaxations of the smooth muscles of the gastrointestinal tract of the humans.

These alternating contractions and relaxations produces a peristaltic wave that pushes the food down the esophagus of the digestive system. The peristaltic movement prevents the food from moving backwards and pushes the food forward.

Your patient needs to have their vitals checked before leaving the facility. The policy is that only nurses can perform this act
soldier1979 [14.2K]

The nurses should stop the doing the paperwork and go attend to those patient if it seems forever finishing the paper and then come back to it later. it would be very annoying to have to wait a long time before the nurses attend to you and that might end up pushing those patents away from that hospital because then those patients would think they don't attend to them fast and may even end up causing a bad name for the hospitals.

<h3>What should be included in the change of shift report?</h3>

It should have the patient's medical record, current medication, allergies, pain levels and pain regime plan, and discharge instructions.

Providing these sorts of pieces about your patient in your end of shift report decreases the risk of an oncoming nurse putting the patient in danger.

Thus, this could be the answer.

True or False? About 20% of female high school students have tried smoking at some point.
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Might be true...

Peer pressure—their friends encourage them to try cigarettes and to keep smoking. They see smoking as a way of rebelling and showing independence. They think that everyone else is smoking and that they should, too. The tobacco industry has used clever marketing tactics to specifically target teenagers.

Explain why increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value
Pavlova-9 [17]

Increasing extracellular K+ increases the positive charge outside the cell, making the inside of the cell (membrane potential) more negative. This inhibits net diffusion of Na+ into or out of the cell.
