Under standard precautions, the nurse should wear the following when cleaning a newly admitted infant with gastroenteritis after a vomiting episode: a single pair of disposable gloves, long-sleeved disposable gowns, mask, and protective eyewear in order to prevent the splatter of the infant's vomit to the eyes, mouth, and nose. Gastroenteritis is caused by a virus that gets transmitted from one person to another either by direct contact or airborne. Touching contaminated or exposed objects, hand-shaking, and sniffing are some of the modes of transmission.

Where fibers from right and left optic nerves decussate to the opposite (left or right) optic tract?
Andreas93 [3]
<span>This is the optic chiasm, where the nerves emanating from the eyes cross over to the opposite hemisphere of the brain. This part of the visual system allows for binocular vision, as both hemispheres of the brain receive visual signals from both eyes. This aids in coordination and the ability to see and judge depth.</span>

Which of the following is least likely to change the gene pool of a population of chipmunks?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

A number of chipmunks die due to old age.

Explanation:

A mutation is any genetic change in the genome of an organism. When a mutation occurs in germline cells it may be passed from one generation to the next, thereby changing the gene pool in a population. Moreover, gene flow is the transference of genetic material among populations, which also have the potential to modify the gene pool in a population. Gene flow may be caused by the movement (migration) of individuals from one population to another and further reproduction of these organisms. Both mutations (i.e., germline mutations) and gene flow (i.e., migration) are evolutionary forces capable of changing the gene pool composition of a population. On the other hand, a pesticide that causes the death of many individuals may also potentially alter the gene pool in a population. Finally, old individuals that death by age are not expected to modify the gene pool of a population (since these organisms don't reproduce).
