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.

In your own words describe the path food takes once it enter your mouth.(will give brainliest)
denis23 [38]

Answer: The digestive tract starts by chewing and swallowing food. From there the food travels down the esophagus easily because it goes with a liquid Siliva enzyme. After, the food goes into the stomach where it is processed into a thick liquid called chyme. It then travels to the lower part of the stomach known as the atrium where it is ready to be released into the small intestine. The small intestine, or small bowel, is a hollow tube about 20 feet long that runs from the stomach to the beginning of the large intestine. The small intestine breaks down food from the stomach and absorbs much of the nutrients from the food. The food then travels to the large intestine where salts and sugars that could not be digested are absorbed. The rectum stores the stool, then the anus pushes it out in a bowl movement.

quester [9]

Some argue that this is unethical, and can lead to being selfish; prolonging the patient's life for fear of losing them sooner, when it is against their wishes.
