Antibiotics are routinely introduced into the food of cattle, chickens and other livestock, which causes the animals to grow fas

Rudik [331]

Answer:

Bacteria are highly adaptable microorganisms who have the capability of developing defense mechanisms against that which may harm them. Not least important of all, is the easiness with which some bacteria, especially pathogenic bacteria like Salmonella, or Klebsiella, develop mechanisms of resistance to antiseptics and, most importantly, antibiotics.

Antibiotics are a chemical substance that was created, and has been developed, in order to be able to combat pathogenic microorganisms, specifically bacteria. However, because today these substances are being used indiscriminately, we are now seeing a very worrying pattern of antibiotic-resistance patterns in microorganisms that used to be sensible to them. The result, we are facing strains of pathogenic bacteria, like Klebsiella pneumonia and E. Coli, that have become resistan to all types of antibiotics, from first generation, to fourth generation. And this has meant that when people acquire infection by these pathogens, the likelihood of death by them has increased because there are no agents capable of combating them.

Exposure to antibiotics has been the sole reason why these resistant strains of bacteria have emerged, especially when these antibiotics are not necessary. And feeding these substances to animals, to ensure their development and weight gain, has not made the situation any better. Now, we are instead adding also bacteria to the list that did not use to be resistant, but that are becoming so as they become adjusted to the constant exposure to antibiotics. Again, the result has been: more people infected with bacterial strains that cannot be combated with any of the existing antibiotic agents.

The mechanism under the therapeutio effect of lovastatin is:

Ilya [14]

Answer:

(B). inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase.

Explanation:

Lovastatin is a drug, which is used to reduce risk for cardiovascular diseases and to reduce level of cholesterol in blood.

It works by inhibiting HMG-CoA reductase (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase) enzyme, required for the formation of mevalonate from HMG-CoA.

Mevalonate is building block for the biosynthesis of cholesterol. Hence, lovastatin inhibits cholesterol production by inhibiting synthesis of mevalonate.

Thus, the correct answer is option (B).

What accommodations must be made when taking vital signs on an infant?

viktelen [127]

The accommodations that must be made when taking vital signs on an infant include the following:

1. Sanitization of supplies before and after use.

2. Ensure a normal heart rate.

3. The use of an appropriate size diaphragm and bell.

4. Auscultating for one (1) full minute or sixty (60) seconds, so as to count the apical pulse.

5. Check the infant's blood pressure.

Vital signs can be defined as a group of essential medical information that indicate the status and proper functioning of an individual's body system.

Basically, vital signs are taken to help a <u>medical practitioner</u> assess the general physical health and well-being of an individual.

As a <u>medical practitioner</u> (pediatrician), you're required to know how to assess vital signs on different pediatric populations such as an infant (newborn baby), especially by checking the following:

Heart rate.

Temperature.

Head circumference.

Respiratory rate.

Weight.

Length.

Chest circumference.

In Medicine, the accommodations that must be made when taking vital signs on an infant include the following:

1. Sanitization of supplies (equipment) before and after use.

2. Ensure a normal heart rate.

3. The use of an appropriate size diaphragm and bell.

4. Auscultating for one (1) full minute or sixty (60) seconds, so as to count the apical pulse.

5. Check the infant's blood pressure and temperature.
