Answer:

A) Check for the presence of tortous veins bilaterally on the legs.

Explanation:

Options B and D can´t be consider as a priority assessment because she says she is used to walking and if she does it with some frequency, the muscles are used to the changes of temperature and the swelling should be bilateral not unilateral.

Considering the fact that she is having leg cramps these are related with a slow blood circulation. This slow blood circulation can be also seeing by tortous veins bilaterally on legs, making it  the priority assessment for the nurse to complete.

vivado [14]

The <u>moral intensity</u> of an issue is higher when the consequences for others are potentially large, the consequences are relatively immediate and likely to occur, and the potential victims are psychologically or physically close to the decision maker.

Explanation:

Moral intensity defines the degree that an individual or people considers or sees or relates an issue as an ethical issue.

Various factors determine this moral intensity like; the magnitude and effect of the consequences, the temporal proximity and immediacy of the consequences and social consensus.

The magnitude of the consequence defines the outcome of an action.

Temporal immediacy defines the interval between the time of action and the occurrence or onset of the consequence which details about when consequences are likely to occur after the action.

Proximity details about how close (psychologically and emotionally) the decision-maker is to the person who can be affected by the decision

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because of the absence of options. However, there are some general terms that should indicate the answer. This question also seem to focus on the classes of food and food in general, thus the answers should be related to food.

(a) Calcium is mineral needed in the body to make bones and teeth stronger.

(b) There are two broad types of nutrients; they are micronutrients and macronutrients. Micronutrents are those nutrients that the body needs in little amount/quantity (examples are vitamins and minerals) while macronutrients are nutrients that the body requires in large quantity (examples are carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids)

(c) Iron is a mineral that assists in blood production in the body.

(d) Oil and butter are good sources of lipids in the body.

(e) More water/glucose is required for people who do a lot of physical work. Water helps transport nutrients around the body which helps to produce energy (that is needed after an exercise); an individual exercising loses water through sweat and will need to gain this water back by drinking. While glucose break-down leads to the production of energy. This is the reason water or glucose is needed more by an individual who do a lot more physical work.
