Answer:

Informed consent is an important part of effective client care that helps accomplish treatment goals.

Explanation:

In all cases of treatment and/or surgery, the medical staff is required to have a written or verbal consent from the patient that they are allowed to proceed with treatment. If the patient is not of sound mind or body, the next of kin are able to then determine the best course of action.

In this example, it cannot be proved that the patient is not of sound mind, even though there is a family history of psychosis. In this case, it is important that the nurse is given consent to treat the patient as they see fit.

The time it takes for food to travel through the gastrointestinal tract varies between _____hours.
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Between 6 to 8 hours

Explanation:

The gastriointestinal tract refers to the entire digestive system, starting at the mouth, and ending at the anus. After food enters through the mouth, it travels through the esophagus, into the stomach. After that, it moves into the duodenum, then the jejunum, and finally the ilium (collectively referred to as the small intestine). Finally it moves into the cecum, then to the colon, and finally the rectum (collectively referred to as the large intestine), where it exits out the body through the anus.

The length of this process varies due to stress, metabolism, and even sleep.
