Answer:

The correct answer is - to allow air and blood to escape.

Explanation:

An occlusive dressing is a dressing that involves water and airtight on the wound or the opening in first aid. It is used to protect the incision or wound to be contaminated.

In the case of the pneumothorax development, the occlusive dressing is sealed with the three-sided but the fourth side is left open so it will allow air to the   escape from the pleural space and blood with the prevention of the backflow of air with inspiration.

Thus, the correct answer is - to allow air and blood to escape.

Which level has the most number of organisms but the least specific characteristics?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Kingdom

Explanation:

Out of all the taxonomic categories, the Kingdom is the least specific, which means it has the least filters.

I like to think of taxonomic categories as filters/sieves. If you put your animals through the Kingdom filter, then all the animals are in that category. if you have a finer sieve, then less animals get through, this goes down all the way to the most specific which is Species.

Hope this helps!
