Answer:

The correct answer to the question: The pineal body secretes which hormone that maintains the body´s internal clock, the 24-hour wake-sleep cycle, and regulates the onset and duration of sleep?, would be, C: Melatonin.

Explanation:

The process of sleep and wakefulness, also called the circadian cycle, its a pretty complex system that is controlled by several parts of the brain, but most importantly, structures of the diencephalon (vital is the hypothalamus), the pineal gland, and the stem of the brain. All these structures, and some others, respond to changes both in light perception by the eyes and other senses, heat, and homeostatic balances. These factor play a vital role in telling the human body that it is time for sleep, or to awaken. The pineal gland, as part of this melody, is essential, as it secretes the hormone, melatonin, in response to light changes. Melatonin will balance out the process of sleep, when it is secreted in high quantities by the pineal gland, and wakefulness, when it is no longer secreted in response to the presence of light. This is what is called the circadian cycle.

You witness someone suddenly collapse the person is unresponsive
mezya [45]

Answer: Not totally certain if you have any multiple choice answers or anything but here's a general idea of what I would write in response.

Explanation: First step is always going to be asking them if they're okay, the question says they're unresponsive so you want to access the situation. If they are spasming and signs lead to them having a seizure your going to immediately call for an ambulance, don't try to restrain them unless they are potentially going to hurt themselves ie. falling off of something or hitting something dangerous nearby. Restraining them can potentially damage their nerves and muscles more than just letting them flail.

If they don't seem to be having any signs of a seizure then you want to check if they're breathing. If they aren't you need to start performing cpr. Have someone nearby call an ambulance or call 911 and ask for walk-through steps if you aren't certified, that way you know what your doing and you can have that support you if they try to sue you (which won't be a problem because of the good samaritan law anyways) You want to get them laying on their back, tilt their head and make sure nothings restricting their air flow. Then your going to do a couple breaths, if they don't start breathing you'll begin compressions. Compressions, breath, compressions breath. I reccommend looking up appropriate compression techniques for different age people and how to correctly administer if you aren't already aware since I don't want to write a whole article here- I hope this helped!

Quantos meses o bebê fica no ventre?​
Mademuasel [1]

sorry I don't know pla

Answer:

Aqui começa a trajetória do bebê dentro da barriga da mãe. Neste momento ele é uma minúscula bolinha formada por centenas de células que se multiplicam freneticamente. Quando essa bolinha de células (chamada blastocisto) se assentar no útero, a parte dela que se transformará na placenta vai começar a produzir o hormônio da gravidez (gonadotrofina coriônica humana, hCG). O hCG é o hormônio detectado nos testes de gravidez.

Ask about ethnic origin, preferred religion, familial structure, dietary preferences, eating habits, and health practices while doing a quick cultural evaluation.

<h3>What distinguishes patient-centered care from cultural competence?</h3>

Both patient centeredness and cultural competency place differing emphasis on quality in their enhancement of health care delivery. Cultural competence largely focuses on decreasing inequities in health care, whereas patient centeredness tries to improve quality by integrating the patient perspective.

Self-care is least likely to be linked to health inequities in the nurse's mind. Self-care is not a factor that affects how marginalized populations fare in terms of health. Because they do not have access to high-quality healthcare, people in disadvantaged groups are more likely to experience health inequalities.
