Answer:

The asnwer is A) cardiogenic

Explanation:

Patient with severe anterior chest trauma with 88 pulse per minute, tachypneic, 92/68 pressure and peripheral cyanosis is presenting a cardiogenic shock. We talk about cardiogenic shock when the heart is unable to pump enough blood to the entire body that is needs to. It is caused by serious cardiac complications, such as severe trauma to the heart with damage to its structures, such as tendons, cardiac muscles or wall, and also the accumulation of fluid around it (cardiac tamponade).

Julli [10]

Answer:

28.2%.

Explanation:

Attack rate of any pathogen describes the speed or morbidity by which the new or emerging population is at risk by the attack of the pathogen.

The attack rate can be calculated by the formula:

Attack rate = people affected or at the risk of infection / Total population.

65 people are affected and 72 people also shows the symptoms.

Attack rate =  65 + 72 / 485

Attack rate = 137 / 485

Attack rate = 0.28.

The attack rate percent = 0.28 × 100 = 28%.

Hence, the answer is 28%.

List 3 supply items you will need for a Hurricane.​
boyakko [2]

Answer: Med kit, Flash light, rations.

Explanation: Med kit: Just in case someone were to get hurt, you would need the med kit since you can’t go out to a hospital.

Flash light: In most cases when a hurricane happens, the power shuts off and to have the ability to see you would need to use a flash light.

Rations: You can’t go to the store and buy food and water, so you would need to store water and food just in case you run out so you don’t starve to death, or die of thirst.
