Answer:

The correct answer is: place the pulse oximeter in the baby's toe.

Explanation:

  • A pulse oximeter is a non-invasive medical device.
  • It is used to determine the concentration of oxygen-linked haemoglobin flowing in through the peripheral arterial blood.
  • It is generally used in those parts of the body where the skin is thin, like the finger tip of hand, toe tip or the ear lobe.
  • The difference in the absorbance of infrared light by the haemoglobin molecules linked to oxygen and the haemoglobin molecules not linked to oxygen is used to determine the concentration of oxygen in the peripheral arterial blood.
  • As the child has a difficulty in breathing so, it is obvious the amount of oxygen that all its body cells receive is far less than the amount of oxygen needed by them.

A group of students wants to study the structures of animals in the desert. One question they should ask is-
Brrunno [24]

From studies and research, I believe the proper question would be:

"How do the animals satisfy their need for water?" or "How long do the animals live?"

Explanation 1:

When studying the desert, asking "Can you buy the animals in pet stores?" is not going to help you find information about the desert because it is not a question to get information about the desert, only information if you just buy it at your local pet shop.

Explanation 2:

Asking "How many offspring do the animals have?" does help us learn about animals, but we are trying to find information on the structure of the desert in which the animals live in. We are not looking for how many children the animals will have because it doesn't fully relate to the question we would be asking.

Side Note: Offsprings mean children.
