Que es sondeo vesical?
Ne4ueva [31]

Respuesta y explicación:

El sondeo vesical, más conocido como sondaje vesical, es una técnica invasiva de gran utilidad médica en la que al paciente se le introduce una sonda desde el meato uretral hasta la vejiga urinaria.

Ésta práctica tiene diversos fines, tanto terapéuticos como diagnósticos, ya que es de vital importancia a la hora de facilitar la salida de la orina en los casos donde el paciente presenta una uretra o vejiga obstruida, o bien para acompañar una mejor recuperación del paciente durante el postoperatorio de intervenciones quirúrgicas. Además, el sondaje vesical es de utilidad para llevar un correcto control de la diuresis del paciente.

Distractions such as peer passengers (driving someone around your own age) and talking or texting on a cell phone while driving
klemol [59]

Talking or texting is deadly for teen drivers. thus, option A is correct.

<h3>Why should we avoid using our phones while driving?</h3>

Driving while using a mobile device is extremely risky. Physically holding a phone takes one hand away from the controls, increasing the risk of accidents. Dialing is much worse because it demands the user to take their focus off the road.

Sending texts while driving is the riskiest of all distraction-related actions. Sending a text message increases a person's risk of a car accident by 23 times compared to just driving. Compared to other distraction-related pursuits, the figure is staggering.

Explain how risks can accumulated over time. include an example
Serggg [28]
Risks can accumulate over time through exposure to different things over life which is a normal part of life generally. People who do a lot of crazy things are people who are more prone to having different kinds of risks being brought upon them. If you're working as a construction, it's more likely with time that you will suffer from some sort of work-related accident than someone who works in an office all day long.
