Answer:

The National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) are maximum allowable levels for 6 harmful pollutants.

Explanation:

The EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) sets National Ambient Air Quality Standards for pollutants considered harmful to the population and the environment. EPA includes two standards, one includes public health protection, and the other damage to animals, crops, vegetation, and buildings. The standards must be revised periodically, they are classified by averaging time, level and form.

The EPA has set National Ambient Air Quality Standards for six principal pollutants:

Carbon Monoxide: is harmful when inhaled in large amounts. CO is released when something is burned. The greatest sources of CO to outdoor air are cars, is recommended not to be exceeded more than once per year.

Lead: sources are waste incinerators, utilities, and lead-acid battery manufacturers and piston-engine aircraft operating on leaded aviation fuel.

Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2): gets in the air from the burning of fuel

Ozone: at ground level is a harmful air pollutant, is the main compound in smog.

Particulate Matter (PM) Pollution: a mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets that can be emitted directly from a source, for example fires, construction sites or industries and automobiles.

Sulfur Dioxide: they come from fossil fuel combustion

Natali5045456 [20]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is:

A client with myasthenia gravis improves and is discharged from the hospital. The discharge medications include pyridostigmine bromide (Mestinon) 10 mg every six hours. The nurse evaluates that the drug regimen is understood when the client says, "I should:

Take the medication on an empty stomach."

Set an alarm so I take the medication on time."

Take my pulse rate before taking the medication."

Monitor for an increase in blood pressure after taking the medication."

Answer:

The correct answer is statement 2.

Explanation:

Pyridostigmine refers to an essential drug, which must be consumed on time, as a late or missed dose can lead to extreme neuromuscular and respiratory consequences or even death. Pyridostigmine should be consumed with a small concentration of food in order to inhibit gastric irritation.

It is not essential to take the pulse rate prior to taking the medication. Pyridostigmine may result in hypotension, however, not hypertension, which is not an indication of cholinergic crisis.

They eat other snakes, including venomous snakes. They have developed a hunting technique to avoid being bitten by clamping down on the jaws of the venomous prey, but even if bitten, they are immune to the venom. They also eat amphibians, turtle eggs, lizards, and small mammals, which they kill by constriction.
