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.

Many soil-dwelling bacteria produce molecules that can be naturally synthesized and kill other species of bacteria. What are these bacteria-killing molecules called antibiotics

Antibiotics are effective pills which can be usually safe. Although they are very helpful in fighting disease,  antibiotics can actually be harmful. Important Facts About Antibiotic Safety: Antibiotics can cause side effects such as allergic reactions and severe and potentially life-threatening diarrhea caused by the bacterium Clostridium difficile (C. diff).

Antibiotics can also interfere with other medications you may be taking. Antibiotic side effects account for nearly one-fifth of  emergency room visits. These conditions are the most common reasons for emergency room visits for children under the age of 18. Taking antibiotics you don't need unnecessarily exposes you  to the drug's side effects and denies you the benefits.

Which population would be least likely to survive a change in its ecosystem?
Burka [1]

Answer: D

Explanation:

lIf the change in the ecosystem occurs, then it would effect the weather, temperature, and the abiotic factors. So, we can see that the bacteria could survive in any sort of temperature. So, A can't be it. Also, B can't be it because the grass can grow in any sort of soil, even if the soil is contaminated. C cant be it because even if the change in the envoriment (temperature, contaimination) kills of one of the brown bear's food source, they can still have other things they can eat. But, if the weather gets too hot or the soil gets contaimnated and kills off the ecalyptus plants, the koala has nothing  else to eat. So, best answer is D.
