5 0

Answer: Option b

Explanation:

If nuclear power plant accident takes place then most of the people get affected by this mass exposure.

This exposure affects mass of population, with burns, wounds and ionizing radiation. Ionizing radiation can be defined as the radiation that is caused due to different types of particles like gamma, alpha, beta particles.

These particles have the ability to penetrate inside the body and cause mutation. Many other genetic deformities can also be encountered with expose to ionizing radiation.

hence, the correct answer is option B

Hormone that does not cause vasoconstriction?
oee [108]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C-ANP (Atrial natriuretic peptide).

Explanation:

Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of the blood vessels which can stop or block the blood flow.

Vasoconstriction reduces the urine formation during stress conditions through the action of hormones like ADH (anti-diuretic hormone), norepinephrine, epinephrine and angiotensin II produced via the sympathetic nervous system.

The atrial natriuretic hormone (ANP) is a cardiac hormone produced to lower the blood pressure or reduce blood plasma through vasodilation, increased vascular permeability and increase renal excretion.  

Thus, option C is the correct answer.

A client is admitted for a right below-knee amputation (BKA) as a result of poorly managed diabetes mellitus. Which complication
vagabundo [1.1K]

The client is at risk of developing surgical site infection post the right below-knee amputation (BKA) as a result of poorly managed diabetes mellitus.

Diabetes is a type of disease that leads to a rise in blood glucose levels. Amputation in the lower extremity of the body is extremely common in an individual with unregulated diabetes. This is because diabetes may result in diabetic neuropathy or peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Narrowing of the arteries in the PAD causes the development of ulcers and infections in the lower limbs, which ultimately causes amputation. Diabetes mellitus reduces the wound healing power and therefore delays the surgical site to recovery. This makes the client prone to surgical site infections.

Name and describe one of the three conditions Dr. Natterson-Horowitz mentions that there have been well-studies by veterinarians
Setler [38]

Answer:

One of the conditions that she describe   was induced heart failure, which is basically  a “broken heart.” She says that human  doctors apparently discovered that this is  true in humans around 2000. However,  veterinarians had recognized this in the  earlier 1970s. This just goes to show that  there are more correlations between the two  than people realize and could help  substantially.   Do you find Dr. Natterson-Horowitz's argument  that physicians can learn a lot from  veterinarians convincing? What part of her  argument is, to you, especially strong or weak?   I think that her argument is extremely  convincing and I definitely agree with her.  Her statements about how she performed the same functions on both humans and  other animals helped portray the argument  she was making but was also a strong point.  I also thought that her naming the three conditions was very strong

<h3>What is myocardial infarction ?</h3>

The heart muscle starts to die as a result of inadequate blood flow during a heart attack, which is medically referred to as a myocardial infarction. Typically, a blockage in the arteries supplying blood to your heart is what causes this.

<h3>Causes of myocardial infarction :</h3>

The primary cause of death in the US, coronary artery disease, is to blame for the majority of myocardial infarctions. The myocardium is deprived of oxygen when coronary arteries are blocked. Myocardial cell loss and necrosis can result from a prolonged lack of oxygen flow to the myocardium.
