Answer:

Suction the airway with a catheter

Explanation:

It is given that a 57-year-old male has met with an accident and is struggling for life.

His noise is bleeding and he is finding it difficult to breathe thus breathing with an agonal gurgling sound.  His respiration is inadequate and is having a rapid and weak pulse.

Thus the first life saving step to be taken is inserting a catheter in his mouth and suck the airway out of it so that the breathing becomes normal. By doing such more oxygen will pass onto the brain and the heart.

By this the person can be saved and now can wait for the arrival of the medical team.

Thus the answer is "Suction the airway with a catheter"

How to solve this it goes in 4 different directions
Igoryamba
The normal force(the force pushing up from a flat surface) is equal to the force of gravity (the force pushing down on the object) at 5N so they cancel each other out. The other two forces are going in opposite directions, one positive and one negative. Subtracting 10N-5N would give you the amount of force that is not canceled (5N) in the direction of the biggest force (to the left)

The protection from infection received when individuals susceptible to a particular disease live in a population where many indi
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is herd immunity.

Explanation:

Herd immunity is the resistance against a contagious disease provided by the immune individuals which makes the major part of the population to few susceptible individuals in the community.  

So as most of the population is immune to the disease therefore that disease is not able to overpass these immune individuals and the susceptible person is protected indirectly from that contagious disease. By vaccinating most of the people against a disease we can gain herd immunity. So the right answer is herd immunity.
