Answer:

B. dry cracked lips

C. non-elastic turgor with prolonged tenting

Explanation:

During extreme dehydration, mucous membrane that appears at lining of body tract  e.g (nose, mouth, trachea, eyelids etc) dries off and also lips looks  dried out and cracked.

Also, the nurse making documentation should also check for the skin tugor, the tissue in the skin should also return quickly to its original position, if not,  a decreased skin turgor have occurred, which is a factor that results into dehydration. Prolonged "tenting" indicates dehydration. Clinical signs of dehydration may include prolonged skin tenting.

Why would a person with conductive hearing loss hear the tuning fork through bone conduction longer than or equally as long as t
navik [9.2K]

When a person with conductive hearing loss hear the tuning fork through bone conduction longer than or equally as long as through air conduction it is most likely due to something that inhibits the passage of sound waves from the ear canal, through the middle ear apparatus and into the cochlea.

Air transduction is the process of sound transport through the auditory system (sensory organs and sensory system). The air converts the sound into action potentials of the nerve fibers from the eardrum to the ossicles and labyrinth).

In conduction hearing loss, this transduction is impaired and consequently the hearing is limited.
