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.

Which of the following represents a possible chromosome number of a species that uses sexual reproduction, and why?
Ann [662]

Answer:

B. 62, because this number will create a haploid cell, allowing both female and male gametes to be combined.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction involves two organisms to come together (male and female). Sexually-reproducing organisms make use of a process called MEIOSIS to produce gametes or sex cells, which have a reduced number of chromosomes as the parent cells producing them.

A sexually reproducing organism must contain a complete diploid chromosome number (2n) that allows it to produce cells with a haploid chromosome number via meiosis. The haploid gamete cells that result from each meiotic divisions of male and female parents can combine to form a whole diploid organism.
