Answer: A and D

Explanation: In old age, dehydration and compression of the disc between the vertebrae in the spine causes reduction in height.  The loss of bone density (osteoporosis) can also make the spine to become more curved, and make the vertebrae to collapse due to thinning that is caused by overall decrease in body water. This can be the reason for the reduction in height of the patient.

a client recovering from an exacerbation of left-sided heart failure is experiencing activity intolerance. which change in vital
Hatshy [7]

Respiratory rate increased from 16 to 19 breaths per minute is  vital signs during activity would be the best indicator that the client is tolerating mild exercise.

Your body utilizes more oxygen during exercise and creates more carbon dioxide when your muscles perform harder. Your breathing has to increase from about 15 times per minute while you are resting to about 40–60 times per minute while you are exercising in order to meet this additional requirement. To supply the body with oxygen more quickly, breathing rate rises. To more effectively get the oxygen (and glucose) to the breathing muscles, the heart rate increases. These procedures call for oxygen. Because of this, when an activity is completed, a person's respiration and pulse rate do not immediately return to normal. The oxygen debt is the quantity of oxygen needed to flush out the lactic acid and replenish the body's oxygen stores.

If 100 mg drug is administered and has a half life of 6 hours, the percentage of the drug that will be in the system is 18 hours
atroni [7]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation as the question seems incomplete but the explanation should help.

Explanation:

Given the following :

Initial dosage of drug = 100mg

Halflife of drug = 6hours

After 18 hours, the percentage of drug that will be in the system should be :

Half-life is the time taken for a material to reduce to half of it's initial size.

Since half life = 6 hours

After 6 hours ; amount left = 100/2 = 50 mg

After 12 hours ; amount left = 50/2 = 25mg

After 18 hours ; amount left = 25/2 = 12.5mg

Hence, after 18 hours percentage left in system :

(Amount left / total initial amount) × 100%

(12.5 / 100) × 100%

0.125 × 100%

= 12.5%
