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.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Gonadotropins are polypeptide hormones and are secreted by the anterior pituitary gland.

Explanation:

Hypothalamus releases GnRH i.e gonadotropin releasing hormone which stimulates the anterior pituitary to secrete gonadotrophs such as FSH, ICSH and LH.

FSH (follicle stimulating hormone): In males it stimulates spermatogenesis. In females it stimulates growth of ovarian follicles.

ICSH (Interstitial cell stimulating hormone): In males, secretion of testosterone.

LH (Luteinising hormone): In femalestogether with FSH, it triggers ovulation, stimulates conversion of broken ovarian follicle into corpus luteum.

Select the best answer that describes how lionfish are impacting biodiversity in Florida. O Lionfish are consuming large quantit
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Lionfish are rapidly consuming many smaller fish species along the coast at depths up to 90 meters.

Explanation:

Lionfish is an invasive species that has been successfully established in the Atlantic Ocean. It is a tropical species that lives mostly in reefs and rocks that provide protection. It <u>i</u><u>nhabits waters from the coast to 50 meters deep. </u>

Because of its high densities in the Atlantic, Lionfish is a promoter of ecological, economic, socio-cultural consequences. They only have a few predators and consume a high diversity of prey items. They produce an ecological imbalance in the trophic chains of the marine ecosystem. When competing with native piscivores, they imbalance the dynamics of fish communities in coral reefs and mangroves. The <u>density of young and herbivores fishes has decreased because of their predation by the lionfish</u><u>.</u> By <u>predating on algae eating fishes</u>, they provoke a sharp increase in algae populations, which produces serious damages in the coral reefs, enhancing their mortality. The main consequences of these damages are marine biodiversity loss, water quality decrease, ecosystem recovery difficulty, and impacts on food provisioning for many other ocean species.

How is a fish different from a jellyfish?
Korvikt [17]

Jellyfish are forever but fish ain't.

Plus, jellyfish have those tentacle like things attached to thier body and you might confuse em for octopus for that very reason..

but you should really evade confusing em as an octopus cuz octopus might take it as an insult and the next thing you know will be a Kraken taking your house down.. which is pretty tragic :'(
