Trina is a business major. She has failed the last two economics tests even though she has studied a lot. What should Trina do t

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

She has studied a lot and still she has failed her last two tests so spending more time preparing for the economics tests is not really a good option.

Retake the course with a different instructor would imply that the professor she has now is a factor that is influencing in her grades which doesn't seem to be the case.

Change to a different major shouldn't be an option because this is a very dramatic option and the fact that she has failed her tests doesn't mean she's bad at business.

Therefore, the most suitable option would be that she finds students who are passing and study with them, when a group works together, they usually have a better learning and also she can learn new techniques to study as well as getting feedback from the rest of the students.

Thus, the correct answer is C.

Ou are providing bag-mask ventilations to a patient in respiratory arrest. how often should you provide ventilations?

SIZIF [17.4K]

About every 5-6 seconds the patient should be provided ventilations during a respiratory arrest.

A condition known as respiratory arrest is brought on by apnea (cease of breathing) or respiratory malfunction that is so severe that the body cannot support it (such as agonal breathing). A patient with prolonged apnea has ceased breathing for an extended length of time. Respiratory arrest is the term used to describe the circumstance if the heart muscle contraction is unharmed. A sudden halt in pulmonary gas exchange that lasts more than five minutes may irreversibly harm important organs, most notably the brain. Loss of consciousness results from a lack of oxygen to the brain. If respiratory arrest remains untreated for more than three minutes, brain damage is likely, and if it goes untreated for longer than five minutes, death is almost certain.
