The correct answer would be option B, Decerebrate posturing.

All four extremities are in rigid extension, his forearm is hyperpronated and his legs are in plantar extension. Nurse should chart this condition as decerebrate posturing.

Explanation:

Decerebrate posturing is the posture of a body. This posture is considered an abnormal posture. In this posture, the arms and legs of the person are held out straight. The toes of the person pointed downwards. The head and neck are stretched backwards.

There is a high tightening and rigidity found in the muscles of a person with Decerebrate posturing.

This type of posture indicates that the person is suffering from a serious brain damage.

What occurs at the end of a female’s monthly cycle?
Alika [10]

Answer:

The luteal phase begins after ovulation. It lasts about 14 days (unless fertilization occurs) and ends just before a menstrual period. In this phase, the ruptured follicle closes after releasing the egg and forms a structure called a corpus luteum, which produces increasing quantities of progesterone.
