Answer:

Petussis

Explanation:

Pertussis, or whoop cough, is an acute infectious contagious disease of the respiratory tract transmitted by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis. Cases of the disease have increased in several countries in recent years. Symptoms last about 6 weeks and may be represented by low fever, runny nose, sneezing, tearing, poor appetite and malaise. As the disease progresses, the patient may experience very strong coughing fits. Suddenly at first, these accessions are brief, but occur one after the other, successively, without the patient being able to breathe between them and are followed by a deep inhalation that produces a sharp sound like an audible whoop.

The child, presented in the question, has symptoms related to pertussis, so we can say that this child is infected with the disease.

How can you best protect yourself against your ability to care for those to whom you will be providing services
lilavasa [31]
I'm not sure if there is a for sure answer for this, so I can only give my personal opinion.

The truth is if you care, you care. You can't really help that. There will be times where caring makes things unimaginably harder while other times, it makes you even stronger. The only real times where caring gets in the way is when you possibly lose a patient, or if you know you're going to. The only thing you can do is remind yourself that you are doing the best that you can/did the best that you can. If you know deep in your heart that you did everything you could possibly do, yes it will still hurt, but you will be able to forgive yourself and move on. 

Perhaps there is no one dying, but caring about someone and seeing them hurt is difficult? Just take comfort in knowing that you are the one there to help heal them.

Hope this helps. :)

Which of the following examples illustrates allyship?
olga55 [171]

Student on the events committee notices all the members of the committee are also White and an Indian American student runs for a leadership position for the Black Student Union both illustrate allyship

A person who collaborates with another to advance a cause that benefits both parties is said to be an ally. Allyship is a lifelong process of building relationships with marginalized people and/or groups based on trust, consistency, and responsibility; it is not an identity and necessitates that the people we seek to help recognize our efforts.One of the benefits of being an ally is that it makes the workplace more enjoyable for everyone since marginalized groups are more comfortable bringing their whole selves to work and are more likely to be engaged and productive when they feel supported and included.
