Answer:

Means to increase drag and prevent sinking is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Plankton avoid sinking by increasing their surface area and decreasing their density. Spines slow down sinking by adding surface area without increasing density. Defense against predation would be to sing below. Not the opposite.

In order to improve patient relations, a family practitioner should ____
Helen [10]
In the field of medicine we have a short adage that goes, "To cure sometimes, to treat often, to comfort always." Some say it was Hippocrates himself who said this. With that in mind, doctors should always have the patient's welfare in mind always. To improve relations with the patient, the doctor must do a lot of things to show respect. One of them includes simply sitting on a chair with an open stance and leaning slightly forward at an angle while the patient is talking to show that you are interested in what he or she has to say. Never hold the door knob while the patient is still talking as this is a sign that you want him to leave as soon as possible. Never look at far away things, like paintings on the wall or a clock, while the patient is talking because this is another sign of disinterest. And always allow the patient to express his or her self fully without interruption. There are more ways to improve patient relations but these are some good pointers to begin with.
