Answer: Checking for genital lesions and symptoms of recurring herpes.

Explanation: Genital herpes can be passed on from a mother to her newborn through vertical transmission. This is usually due to the newborn's exposure to virus shed from lesions as it passes through the birth canal.

An effective plan, therefore is to ensure that there are no lesions on the mother’s genitals. Presence of lesions can inform the decision to deliver the baby through cesarean section. Also in recurring cases of herpes simplex virus, medication such as valacyclovir can be administered in the third trimester, starting from 36 weeks.

During pregnancy, the form of estrogen that predominates is produced by the placenta, and may be useful in prenatal screening is
lubasha [3.4K]

During pregnancy, the form of estrogen that predominates is produced by the placenta, and may be useful in prenatal screening is Human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG).

Human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG) hormone is only produced during pregnancy. It is produced predominantly in the placenta. Levels of the hormone hCG, found in the mother's blood and urine, rise greatly during the first month of pregnancy.

hCG can detect the pregnancy  ten days after conception. It is the earliest method to check the pregnancy.  It also helps to detect the correct age of the fetus and the problems related to the pregnancy like ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages etc.

Are the triage decisions made in the field, in the ED, and in the ICU the same or different? In what ways?
never [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

ED triage: Used daily to prioritize patient assessment and treatment in the emergency department during routine functioning. Priority is given to those most in need. Resources are not rationed. Inpatient triage: Applied day-to-day in a variety of medical settings, such as the ICU, medical imaging, surgery, and outpatient areas, to allocate scarce resources. Priority is given to those most in need based upon medical criteria. Resources are rarely rationed. Incident triage: Used in multiple casualty incidents such as bus accidents, fires, or airline accidents to prioritize the evacuation and treatment of patients. These events place significant stress on local resources but do not overwhelm them. Resources are rarely rationed, and most patients receive maximal treatment. Military triage: Used on the battlefield, modern military triage protocols most reflect the original concept of triage and include many of the same principles. Resources are rationed when their supply is threatened. Disaster triage: Used in mass casualty incidents that overwhelm local and regional healthcare systems. Disaster triage protocols both prioritize salvageable patients for treatment and ration resources to ensure the greatest good for the greatest number.

A mother brought her four-year-old daughter to the doctor, complaining that her daughter didn't "look right." The child's forehe
lozanna [386]

Answer:

Rickets disease.

Explanation:

Rickets disease occurs when there is a mineralization deficit of the extracellular bone matrix; as a result, the bones are soft, and they deform easily. The X-rays show thick epiphyseal plates because it is hyaline cartilage that should be calcified to become a bone. As there is a deficit of vitamin D, the mineralization of the plate can not be done, making bone is flexible and deformable.

The main cause for Rickets disease is a diet with low intakes of calcium and vitamin D, and poor exposition to the sun, which is the best way to produce vitamin D. These two components are crucial for the mineralization of the bones.
