Answer: The intervention that the nurse should implement first is Place a mask on the client’s face. Option B

Explanation:

Flu- like cough symptoms should be handled first by the nurse by placing a mask on the client' s face. This will help minimise the spread of causative agent to other patients, health staff and family members around the affected patient. The combination of cough and flu-like fever may be an indication of influenza infection and as such, be treated until proven otherwise.

Blood is taken from veins not from arteries. Why?​
frosja888 [35]
Veins are favored over arteries because they have thinner walls, and thus they are easier to pierce. There is also lower blood pressure in veins so that bleeding can be stopped more quickly and easily than with arterial puncture.

How might the body respond if it is getting neurotransmitters from an outside source
viva [34]

When the human body receives a neurotransmitter from outside of the body. The first aspect to consider is if the neurotransmitter entered through the blood vessels by injection or by oral intake. When the neurotransmitter is in the blood stream can reach the receptor of this neurotransmitter in the body. If the person is healthy, the receptor will receive an overstimulation so the answer will be stronger than normal quantities of the neurotransmitter. Nevertheless, the reuptake of the neurotransmitter will occur in the same way as natural neurotransmitter.

the public health nurse is presenting a health promotion class to a group of new mothers. how shouldthe nurse best define health
swat32

The public health nurse is presenting a health promotion class to a group of new mothers. The nurse will best define health as a state of entire physical, mental, and social well-being.

<h3>How does WHO define health?</h3>

The World Health Organization defines health as “a state of entire physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of sickness or incapacity.” Different definitions have been used over time for varied goals.

While hazardous behaviors, such as smoking or high levels of stress, can be curtailed or avoided, beneficial behaviors, such as regular exercise and getting adequate sleep, can be encouraged.

Some factors that affect health are brought on by human choices, like whether or not to adopt a risky habit, while others are the result of structural factors, such the way society is set up and how simple or challenging it is for people to get necessary healthcare services. However, other factors go beyond private.
