No lesions in the mouth and throat
Weight increase of 1 lb over 3 days Correct
Temperature change from 100.2° F to 99.2° F
Capillary refill slowing from 2 seconds to 3 seconds
Weight increase of 1 lb (0.45 kg) over 3 days
Rationale: Vomiting results in fluid volume deficit. The most accurate method of evaluating fluid volume increase (the desired outcome) is weight. A temperature decrease is not reflective of fluid volume increase. Increasing capillary refill time is indicative of a fluid volume decrease, not an increase. The absence of mouth ulcers would allow the child to drink without pain but does not reflect a fluid volume increase.

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Chromosomes were first named by cytologists viewing dividing cells through a microscope. The modern definition of a chromosome now includes the function of heredity and the chemical composition. A chromosome is a DNA molecule that carries all or part of the hereditary information of an organism. In eukaryotic cells, the DNA is packaged with proteins in the nucleus, and varies in structure and appearance at different parts of the cell cycle.

Explanation:

Cells reproduce genetically identical copies of themselves by cycles of cell growth and division. The cell cycle diagram on the left shows that a cell division cycle consists of 4 stages:

G1 is the period after cell division, and before the start of DNA replication. Cells grow and monitor their environment to determine whether they should initiate another round of cell division.

S is the period of DNA synthesis, where cells replicate their chromosomes.

G2 is the period between the end of DNA replication and the start of cell division. Cells check to make sure DNA replication has successfully completed, and make any necessary repairs.

M is the actual period of cell division, consisting of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.
