Answer: C. The finches all appeared to be related but different from the mainland population.

Darwin compared the finches of Galapagoes island and Mainland. He hypothesized the fact that one species might have migrated to the Galapagoes island from mainland and undergone with modifications in different ends from the ancestor species. He proposed that around 13 species of finches evolved from a single ancestor species. This process in which one species giving rise to multiple species which have different corresponding niches is called as adaptive radiation. These finches were adapted according to their different diets: seeds, flowers, insects and leaves. The ancestor finches were ground-dwelling and insect eating. The expense of speciation  in the Galapagoes island resulted in 14 species of finches which includes three species of ground-dwelling seed eaters, three others living on cactus and eating seeds, one living in trees and eating seeds, and 7 species of tree-dwelling insect-eaters. Therefore, the finches all appeared to be related but different from the mainland population.

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Remain with the client and be silent

Explanation:

Bowel obstruction can be explained or described as a situation whereby the intestines, i.e, both small and large intestines are blocked, and thereby, preventing the normal movement of food, liquid or stool in the intestines.

The blockage could result or occur due to tumor, foreign substance or digestive problem.

The Miller-Abbott tube is the tube that was invented or developed to treat the obstruction that is present in both the small and the large intestines. It is used by passing it through the stomach into the intestine.

In this case, the bowel obstruction is caused by recurrent malignancy, that is recurrent of formation of tumor.

The best thing the nurse should do, is to remain silent and with the client, until the client is ready for explanation on the process, and that he/she is in position and capable of inserting the tube.
