Answer:

D) Do CPR until the medical personell has arrived

Explanation:

It is best to continue life supporting efforts in the off chance that there is something that can be done or that there has been some human error in your assessment.  It is also practical to remove the child from the mother in case there was some harm done to the child. Doing CPR will keep the situation under control rather than telling the mother that the child is dead since you are not a medical doctor and it is not within your limits to do so while help is on the way.

Which statement comparing the age of puberty in boys and girls is TRUE?
eduard

Answer:

is the question correct? because more than one of these looks correct, it could be 1 or 3 if true but if the question really is one is false it would be 2 for sure.

Explanation:

1 is correct but not exactly, some females can hit puberty at 13 and males at 9 but females typically hit puberty at ages 8-13 while males 9-14

2 is wrong because both sexes experience physical and psychological changes during puberty.

3 is right but it is just typical, it can happen before or later but the average age is 9-14.

4 i haven't read anything of this so it could be true or false
