Health
1 answer:
fredd [130]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The patient who would be expected to be competent is a patient who is alert and has a broken leg.

Explanation:

Even though a patient has a broken leg, they are conscious and their mental state should not be affected by the injury, which determines their ability to understand and answer questions.

In this patient's case, his ability to communicate remains intact and he can be established as competent by remaining alert.

- A patient who is intoxicated and has fallen on the sidewalk has altered state of consciousness, and is considered incompetent.

- A patient who has wandered off from the nursing home, probably because of a dementia problem, is not considered competent.

Which of the following threats to personal safety would more likely require lockdown as opposed to evacuation?
alexandr1967 [171]
If there were a fire, explosion, or bomb threats in schools, for example, are required to evacuate but if it's a sniper or shooter then they do a lockdown. Because if the shooter is on the outside and they decide to evacuate then they could get shoot so most schools and places do lockdowns. 

So the answer would be a sniper. I hope this helps!
