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.

kupik [55]

The author assumes that the question can be answered by applying principles of anatomy, physics and evolutionary biology. First reason he suggests is that cats are small and they have a favourable mass-surface area ratio. Next, he suggests that cats have soft tissues that absorb the shock and they land on all four limbs, dividing the shock. This is because of their body shape and its centre of gravity. He says that felines have this kind of body structure (that canines lack) because years of falling from trees etc. has evolved their body in this way.

dmitriy555 [2]

The correct answer is 'If molecules are small enough, then they can pass through the semipermeable membrane because they can cross the semipermeable membrane from their small pores or openings'.

The semipermeable membrane is permeable to few molecules, and the smaller molecules pass through the molecules from small pores present in the semipermeable membrane. The size of the big molecules are large, so, they cannot cross through semipermeable membrane.
