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"

When muscles contract, they __________. A. get larger B. pull on bones C. remain still D. split in two

Hello there,

Your correct answer would be "remain still".

The reason why I say this is because when muscles are contracted, this mean's that they are not constantly exercising. This would be that they would stay the same.

Hope this helps.

An infant's length will increase by ______ percent in the first year.
-BARSIC- [3]

An infant's length will increase by 50 percent in the first year.

Hence option (d) is correct.

Infants grow about 25 cm throughout the first year, and height at age 5 is roughly twice the length at birth.

In general, length in normal-term infants increases by about 30% by 5 months and by > 50 percent by 12 months or 1 year.

Weight: An average of 13 ounces are gained every month, with the birthweight being doubled at around 4 to 5 months and tripled at one year.

Height: Most infants grow 10 inches in their first year, with an average monthly growth of slightly over 1/2 inch.

Hence, an infant's length will increase by 50 percent in the first year.
