The correct answer is that "further teaching on skin care is necessary". This patient is using tepid water to cleanse the area as well as applying ice three times a day. The nurse should educate the patient that the extremes of temperatures are not necessary and should be avoided such as warm to hot water as well as cold water or even ice. Cold water or ice will constrict blood vessels in the area and can produce tissue necrosis by ischemia. Warm to hot water can scald the skin (if hot enough) and even promote the redness as warm water dilates blood vessels.

The graph models the linear relationship between the water level of the river in feet and number of days the water level measure
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

option 4, y=1/4x+16

Explanation:

to solve this you must find the slope and the y intercept.

slope is rise/run, and equal to 2/8 or 1/4

then, the find the y intercept, find where the line crosses the y axis. Here it is 16.

finally you plug these answers into the slope intercept form, y=mx+b. In this form, m= slope, x=days, and b= y intercept.

after you plug in your answers you are left with y=1/4x+16.

Which of the following would increase the rate of heat exchange between an animal and its environment?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

E

Explanation:

Wind blowing across the body surface increases transpiration of the skin. The winds reduce the local air pressure above the skin allowing the sweat to evaporate faster. As the sweat evaporates, it carries with it heat from the body. This cools the skin much faster than on a non-windy day. This is why a breeze feels so cool on the human skin on a hot day.

Nearby stellar neighbors include the Alpha Centauri group and the Sirius star systems. Whereas light from our sun takes a little
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

The light from Alpha Centauri system takes 4.37 light-years and  Sirius star system takes 8.6 light-years to reach the Earth.

Explanation:

Light from millions of stars in more distant galaxies takes a long time to reach the Earth. Light travels at a speed of 300,000 kilometers per second. The time taken for light from these stars to reach the Earth is the distance to the star divided by the speed of the light. The distance traveled by light in one year is known as a light year and the distance to the stars that are farther away is expressed in light years.

The Sun is the closest star to the Earth and the sunlight takes about 8.3 minutes to reach on Earth. Apart from the Sun, the other stars closest to Sun include Alpha Centauri system and the Sirius star systems.

The Alpha  Centauri system includes the stars Alpha Centauri A, Alpha Centauri B and Proxima Centauri. This system is 4.37 light-years away from the Earth. The third star, Proxima Centauri is 4.24 light-years away from the Earth i.e., the light from it takes 4.24 years to reach the Earth.

The Sirius star systems include Sirius A (Dog Star) and Sirius B. It is about 8.6 light years from Earth and so the light about 8.6 years to reach the Earth.
