Researchers in Puerto Rico found that in urban habitats, crested anole lizards have more scales on their toes and larger toepads

that help them grip surfaces compared with anoles in the native forest habitat. The researchers estimated that this anole population had been exposed to urban environments for 30–40 years, which corresponds to 100 or more lizard generations. What hypothesis might explain this observation?

Answer:

The hypothesis that might explain this observation is that anoles, as a result of the slickness of walls and windows, are evolving adaptive features to enable them to fast adapted to grip urban smooth surfaces which are quite different from surfaces of trees in their native forest habitat. Structures such as larger toepads and toes with more scales, are adaptive features they have evolved overtime from generation to generation, making them different from anoles found in native forest habitat.

A client has surgery for an abdominal cholecystectomy and returns from surgery with a nasogastric tube to low continuous suction
motikmotik

The correct answer is: ensure that all tubes are attached to collection devices

An adequately functioning nasogastric (NG) tube should prevent nausea and vomiting because stomach contents are continuously being removed. Using the NG after abdominal surgery is a routine postoperative procedure until gastrointestinal tract starts to function properly. The patency of the tube should be checked together with the amount and character of gastric drainage.
