Answer:

d. Urgent angiogram and thrombolysis.

Explanation:

The best therapy for this patient would be an urgent angiogram to check, via X rays, the state of her blood vessels. With this exam, the doctor can determine the blood flow in the injured vessels. The second treatment to do is thrombolysis, which is a process done to breakdown the blood clots that formed in the blood vessels and that are stoping the normal flow of blood.

Identify three situations in which there is a risk of hearing injury. Provide details for an appropriate way to prevent injury.
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Video arcades. It’s fun to visit an arcade, with beeping electronic sounds registering wins and losses. However, spending time in an arcade can be hard on your ears. Arcades typically have ambient noise levels of 110 or higher. Because people tend to spend longer periods of time in video arcades, this can easily damage hearing.

Headphones can be a great way to manage your own exposure to noise, but many people turn them too high. Listening to your MP3 player at its highest volume exposes you to sound in the 105 decibel range.

Motorcycles or snowmobiles. Bikers and snowmobile enthusiasts must beware of noise, which can top 100 decibels
