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.

Where do prokaryotes carry out most cellular processes
andreyandreev [35.5K]

In your cells, cellular respiration happens in a special organelle called the mitochondrion. But as mentioned, prokaryotic organisms don't have organelles. Rather than taking place in the mitochondrion, cellular respiration happens either in the cytoplasm or across the plasma membrane of the cell.

how factors such as blood pressure blood volume blood viscosity resistance disease and exercice affect blood flow
schepotkina [342]

Blood is essential for many organisms, such as humans and animals, for its important function of transporting substances (food, oxygen), vitamins, waste (carbon dioxide), hormones, etc. to all tissues and cells of the body.

1) Blood volume

If the blood volume increases ==> the blood flow increases.

2) Viscosity of blood

If we have an increase in blood viscosity ==> we have a decrease in blood flow

3) Peripheral Resistance

If there is an increase in peripheral resistance ==> the blood flow decreases

4) Diameter of blood vessels

If we have an increase in diameter of

blood vessels ==> decreased peripheral resistance ==> increased blood flow

5) Blood pressure

If the blood pressure increases ==> the blood flow increases.

6) In case of diseases

In the case of atherosclerosis or acute coronary syndrome ==> blood flow decreases.

7) Physical excercises:

During physical exercises ==> the heart rate increases ==> the blood flow increases.

Mid-ocean ridges are segmented and contain which two basic types of plate boundaries linked together?
mamaluj [8]
Mid ocean ridges occur where two tectonic plates diverge or move away from each other. This separation occurs under the ocean.The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is such an example and is where the North and South American plates pull away from the Eurasian and African plates. Mid ocean ridges are usually a combination of divergent and transform plate boundaries. At transform boundaries plates slide past each other in opposite directions.
