Pamela watches her cat Mr. Big swat his paw at the wall and calls out, "Crazy Big, what are you swatting at; nothing is there."
Advocard [28]

Answer:

a. Cats see low-frequency, low contrast objects better than humans.

Explanation:

Mr. Big is able to see something that Pamela does not see because cats have a wider field view of about 200 degrees while that of humans is about 180 degrees.

Cats eyes have 6-8 times more rod cells, which are more sensitive to low light, than that of humans. Their elliptical eye shape, large tapetum and cornea help to gather light for better vision at night.

an emergency department nurse is interviewing a client who is presenting with signs of an ischemic stroke that began 2 hours ago
steposvetlana [31]

An emergency room nurse is speaking with a patient who is exhibiting symptoms of an ischemic stroke that started two hours ago. The client mentions having had a cholecystectomy six weeks prior and using labetalol, digoxin, and warfarin. What element puts the patient's thrombolytic therapy at risk?

What is ischemic stroke?

An ischemic stroke is the loss of brain tissue (cerebral infarction) brought on by insufficient oxygen and blood flow to the brain as a result of an arterial blockage. An artery leading to the brain can get blocked, frequently by a blood clot or a fatty buildup brought on by atherosclerosis, leading to an ischemic stroke.

In patients with ischemic stroke, thrombolytic therapy must be started within three hours. If the patient underwent surgery within the last 14 days, she is not qualified for thrombolytic therapy. Labetalol and digoxin do not preclude thrombolytic treatment.
