Answer:

a.  Stabilizing selection

Explanation:

Babies lower than 5.5lbs would suffer from various disorder because of low birth weight as their body would not be able to compete as well they would have weak immune system and malnourishment. Whereas high birth weight carry the equally above risk as their body wont be able to cope up and organs become insensitive to various hormones. for the survival the birth weight should be within a median range so that it would be favorable for themselves and surroundings.

Stabilizing selection occurs when a population stabilizes on a particular trait value and genetic diversity decreases. As in this example, an average baby weight has to favour against extreme variation for it's better survival.

therefore, this is an example of stabilizing selection.

Answer:

According to the image, the approximate QT interval is 0.4 seconds.

Explanation:

The QT interval is the space between the beginning of the QRS complex and the end of the T wave, which represents from the beginning of depolarization to ventricular repolarization.

Considering that the extandardized measurements of an EKG, where the paper circulates at a speed of 25 mm/s, 1 mm horizontal —measuring time— has an equivalence of 0.04 s.

In the image, there is 10 mm between the beginning of the QRS and the end of the T wave, so:

    0.04 seconds X 10 mm = 0.4 seconds.

Then, the estimated QT interval is 0.4 seconds.

The nurse should include in their discharge notes to the couple the different ways they may access to guarantee birth control.
They may continue to use barrier methods which are the most safe when it comes to not disturbing any hormonal balance or intervening with the milk. Condoms for men are usually the most easily accessed to.
Besides the barrier methods, there are also the hormonal methods. When breastfeeding these are not the most used methods. There is a special pill, progestin-only pill, that is the most appropriate because it doesn't affect milk supply when taken after 6 to 8 weeks after the birth. All hormonal methods should be taken always when counselled with the doctors.
