Answer:

Adult respiratory distress syndrome is a situation where there is an accumulation of fluids in the lung air sacs.

Explanation:

Adult respiratory distress syndrome is a situation where there is an accumulation of fluids in the lung air sacs. This occurs in adults who are seriously ill or injured, as is the case with G.S, shown in the question above.

Generally, patients who get this syndrome, fail to recover and end up dying. This is because the fluids of the lung prevent the organs from receiving the oxygen necessary for their functioning.

This kind of breathing allows the patient to exhale most of the air trapped in the lungs, as hyperinflation is very evident in COPD. The nurse should instruct the patient to inhale slowly for 3 seconds, purse the lips, contract abdominal muscles, and exhale slowly.

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

A. two haploid gametes fuse to form a diploid cell

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division. When a parent cell with "2n" chromosomes enters the process of meiosis, four daughter cells each with "n" chromosomes are formed. This occurs since homologous chromosomes separate from each other during anaphase-I. However, meiosis does not include the fusion of two haploid cells. The fusion of two haploid cells mainly occurs during the process of fertilization during which a haploid male gamete and a haploid female gamete fuse to form a diploid zygote.
