Answer:

  1. The best time for Josh to be attended is that he feels most comfortable and that the clinic has available.
  2. Trigeminal neuralgia is a disease that causes high sensitivity in people's faces, causing bouts of severe pain. It is estimated that the pain felt by those who have this disease is stronger than the pain in the kidney that is already very strong. This disease is believed to occur by the loss of the myelin sheath that surrounds the nerves. In the case of Josh Allen, it would be necessary for the dentist to give him an appropriate medication to avoid the pain caused by the disease, before the procedure begins.
  3. There are drugs that Josh can take, like carbamazepine and oxycarbazepine, which are drugs with high efficiency in reducing these crises.
  4. Since Josh cannot be transferred to a wheelchair, he would need to be attended to at home. For this, it would be necessary to install the necessary equipment in his home for the procedure he needs, in addition to promoting a very high level of hygiene in the place.
  5. Josh should be placed in the supine position, where he will lie with his shoulders and head slightly raised. This is because multiple sclerosis has damaged Josh's muscles and leaving him in an upright position may hinder the dental procedure, in addition to making Josh very uncomfortable.

Explanation:

Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease where the nervous system causes nerve damage causing various muscle and brain disorders throughout the body. The disease causes different parts of the body to stop working properly, becoming completely immobilized and without functionality.

This disease greatly limits people's ability to move, speak and reason, making it necessary that common day-to-day activities and even medical care are carried out in adapted ways, promoting the minimum possible comfort to the patient, as was done with Josh .

The arteries in the image appear red. What are they carrying?
Leto [7]

The correct answer is:

Oxygenated blood to the body

Explanation:

An artery meaning 'windpipe, the artery is a blood vessel that carries blood aside from the heart to all parts of the body (tissues, lungs, etc). Most arteries transport oxygenated blood; the two differences are the pulmonary and the umbilical arteries, which transport deoxygenated blood to the organs that oxygenate it. The adequate arterial blood volume is that extracellular fluid which stretches the arterial system.
