Answer:

Obtain specimen before antibiotics are given.

Explanation:

Antibiotics may be defined as the chemicals given to kill or restrict the growth of the bacterial infection. The antibiotics are not available for virus as they can change their DNA.

The sensitivity results can be accurate if the nurse is able to ensure the successful culture of the antibiotics. Throat culture specimen is taken from the pharyngeal area. The aseptic technique can be used by the nurse for obtaining the blood and urine specimen.

Thus, the answer is obtain specimen before antibiotics are given.

Which of the following scenarios is an example of temporal isolation?
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

B. Black-eyed Susans and daisies used to be part of the same species. A random mutation in a subset of a population caused one group to release their pollen three weeks before the other, causing interbreeding to cease.

Explanation:

Temporal isolation, where temporal relates to time. So temporal isolation is the process where two populations will reproduce at different times/different seasons and therefore cause a split in species. In this case, we see the flowers release pollen at different times and caused a split into two distinct species.
