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.

The volume and mass of the brain has increased about threefold from early human ancestors such as Australopithecus afarensis, to
spin [16.1K]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A. The threefold change happened in one concentrated burst.

B. The change was not consistent in direction, but happened in multiple bursts concentrated at each speciation event.

C. There was consistent directional selection toward a larger brain all along the lineage between the two species.

D. None of the above.

Answer:

Option-B

Explanation:

The hominids evolved with time and the known hominid in modern time is the Homo sapiens or modern human.

The Homo sapiens like other species could have evolved from the older species through speciation and studies suggest that one of the major factors of human evolution is the size of the brain.

Two possibilities could explain the size of the brain that it could have evolved slowly with time called the gradual equilibrium or in bursts concentrated at each speciation event.

Since the punctuated equilibrium takes place in bursts until the species reach stasis is the most applicable condition for punctuated equilibrium to happen therefore Option-B is the correct answer.
