Answer:

baby facedown on your forearm so the baby's head is lower than his or her chest. Support the baby's head in your palm, against your thigh. Don't cover the baby's mouth or twist his or her neck. Use the heel of one hand to give up to 5 back slaps between the baby's shoulder blades.

Make a fist and place it just above the navel, thumb side in. Grab the fist with your other hand and push it inward and upward at the same time. Perform five of these abdominal thrusts. Repeat until the object is expelled and the person can breathe or cough on their own.

Answer:

your anwser would be B

Explanation:

The liver being palpable 3 cm below the right costal margin,

midclavicular line, would be considered normal on inspiration when the

liver is pushed down into the abdominal cavity on inspiration, but is

abnormal on expiration. Findings to support hepatomegaly would be

more convincing if, by percussion, the liver span was >12 cm at the

midclavicular line. For patients with obstructive lung disease, air

trapping in the lungs may displace the liver downwards into the

abdominal cavity. The liver span and dullness to percussion refer to the

same measurement. Measurements of 6-12 cm at the mid‐clavicular line

and 4-8 cm at the midsternal line are considered normal.

Describe the difference between a PAR-Q, medical screening, medical evaluation, and exercise stress test.
Wewaii [24]
<span>These tests are listed in order of increasing rigor. The PAR-Q is a written assessment that predicts one's readiness for exercise. The other three require the help of a health professional to complete. Medical screenings and medical evaluations are both performed by a doctor, but the medical evaluation is more in-depth. Finally, the exercise stress test is designed to test the response of the body while exercising vigorously. This test is usually only used when a problem is suspected that could endanger the participant's life. (This is the word-for-word answer, so make sure you reword this before you answer the question.)</span>
