lorpromazine [Thorazine]. He lives with his parents. You have been asked to talk with Jim's family. His parents have questions about the side effects of chlorpromazine. While Jim is in a group session, you meet with his parents. Jim's mother states that she is concerned. "I understand that Jim will need to take the medication for the rest of his life.

Answer and Explanation:

My first response would be that it is not a good strategy to speculate things negatively in the very begining even when you have not tried it. We can definitely go for alternative drugs in case it doesn't fit to Jim's metabolic functioning and physiology. However, it is also possible that the drug would help Jim. Everybody is different when it comes to side effects of a particular drug. Some people even don't show any side effects for one particular drug whereas others show mild or significant concerns. Therefore, I would suggest her to reconsider her decision and try chlorpromazine as prescribed. After all, it is Schizophrenia and you cannot simply ignore it. Such negligence could worsen the situation for Jim and you all.

What is the path that a body follows as it travels around another body in space is
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

The movement is called revolution when a body travels around another body in space.

Explanation:

The movement is called revolution when a body travels around another body in space. It is different from rotation which is a phenomenon where a body revolves around its own axis. For example, we can assume the motion of earth as revolution when it travels around the sun and completes one complete revolution in one year, on the other hand when it moves around its own axis the day and night transformation happens.  We can also take the example of moon which revolves around the earth and many other planets which revolve around the sun. So it is very easy to understand the concept of revolution.

Hope it helps!

The type of contraction in which the muscle fibers do not shorten is called
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Isometric contraction

Explanation:

The length of the muscle is changed during contraction only when the muscle tension during contraction can outstand the resistance exerted by the object to be lifted.  

During isometric contractions, the muscle tension is not sufficient to exceed the resistance of the object. Hence, there is no change in the length of the muscle. The isometric contraction does not bring about any body movements.
