perceive?

Answer:

To Plato, ideas or forms were the abstract true shapes of the everyday things that we can directly perceive.

Explanatio:

These ideas or forms exist in a separate reality called "the world of ideas", which we cannot see. This is why Plato is labeled an "idealist", and many philosphers after him who agreed with him became part of the idealist branch of philosophy, as opposed to the materialist branch.

Plato illustrates his point with allegory of the cavern: a person lives in a cave and perceives a shape. He thinks the shape is real, but it is actually a reflection of a sort of toy that represents the shape, a toy that is being held and shown by another cave dweller who has access to fire. Thus, the first cave dweller (us) cannot see things for what they really are, only for what he perceives they are.

I will provide a picture of the allegory below that dispays this idea better.

You arrive at the residence of a 33-year-old woman who is experiencing a generalized (tonic-clonic) seizure. She has a small amo
Tema [17]

Answer:

Because of being a tonic-clonic seizure, the doctor must maintain her airway with manual positioning, rapidly suction her trachea and esophagus for any vomitus particle, a bypass nasopharyngeal tube should be inserted to increase the ventilation, and add high flow moist oxygen should be given.

Option B

Explanation:

A tonic-clonic seizure is a type of normal body seizure that occurs due to some organ inefficiency like cardiac arrest, or Ischaemic Heart Disease. In the case of this woman, the woman was having the Clonic Tonic seizure along with vomitus which clearly represents she had a cardiac arrest.

Clonic tonic seizures have different patterns than epileptic seizures. So no bite block is required between teeth as in epileptic one. As a first aid to the situation, the doctor needs to suction the airway as well as pharynx to prevent aspiration of any particle from vomitus. Cleaning of the mouth and correct placement of the head is required as a correct measure of ventilation. And for additional ventilation, a nasopharyngeal tube is inserted through the nose and moist oxygen is run through the tube until the person stops having seizures.

Why are east coast beaches in the u.S. Wider and sandier in general than west coast beaches?
Ad libitum [116K]

<u>Answer</u>:

The East Coast is far from a convergent plate boundary  that is why the east coast beaches in the US are Wider and sandier in general than the west coast beaches.

<u>Explanation</u>:

When the waves approach an irregular shoreline, they speed and break, they hit the points, and slowdown in the beaches that are quiet. Waves behave similarly in east coast causing them to be sandier.

Also, the east coast is far from convergent plate boundary., i.e.: place where 'tectonic plates' move towards each other. So, they have broader walks. East coast has hotels, buildings, casinos as compared to west coast which only have single homes.
