Answer:

The correct answer to the question: Which statement or instruction would be the most appropriate for this situation, would be, A: he is very stable, but we will take him to the hospital. The danger lies in the infection spreading to the lungs.

Explanation:

The most important deal here is that this is a child of only six years of age and that he is starting to show an increase in his temperature, as the numbers reach 98.9F, which is on the borderline to actual fever. This indicates that the original infection, which was affecting the upper airways is now starting to affect more. Another point here is the heart rate, which, although not absolutely abnormal for a child of 6, is still showing increases, which indicates the advancement of the infection and the increase of temperature. The mother needs to know that none of the signs show that the child is in inminent danger, that his vital signs in general are stable, but, he does need to be brought for treatment because the signs do indicate that the infection is spreading, and affecting the lungs.

1) Ecology is the scientific study of the distribution and abundance of organisms, the interaction among organisms, and the interactions between organisms and their abiotic environment. Ecologists try to understand the inner workings of natural ecosystems and the species they contain.

2) Ecosystems have no particular size. An ecosystem can be as large as a desert or a lake or as small as a tree or a puddle. If you have a terrarium, that is an artificial ecosystem. The water, water temperature, plants, animals, air, light and soil all work together.

3) The biotic factors of an ecosystem include all the populations in a habitat, such as all the species of plants, animals, and fungi, as well as all the micro-organisms. Also recall that the nonliving factors are called abiotic factors. Abiotic factors include temperature, water, soil, and air.

4) For aquatic ecosystems, these factors include light levels, water flow rate, temperature, dissolved oxygen, acidity (pH), salinity and depth.

TRUE. A disease that wiped out a rabbit population in an environment would affect the coyote population in the same environment.

Rabbits are the food source of the coyote. If they are wiped out, the coyote will starve and slowly die out.
