Answer: C) Perform the jaw-thrust airway maneuver.

Explanation:

The patient is suffering from breathing problem and her airways must be opened to allow breathing.

The jaw-thrust airway maneuver must be performed on elderly women. This is because of the fact that it is an ideal technique for patients who are suspected of having head or neck injury. This is done for patients who are unable to maintain their own airway during injury. The jaw-thrust maneuver is done by placing the index finger to lower jaw upwards and thumb is pulled down on the chin to open the mouth this will help to open the airway.

Answer:

The kinetochore of the chromosomes

Explanation:

<em>What could be damaged that is hindering the spindle fibers from attaching to the chromosomes are the kinetochores of the chromosomes.</em>

At the metaphase stage of the cell division, the chromosomes align at the equator of the cell and the spindle fibers engage each chromosome at a region known as the kinetochore.

The kinetochore is made up of complex proteins and lies around the centromere region of the chromosome. The microtubules of the spindle fibers attach to this region during the metaphase stage.

<u>If the kinetochore is damaged, it means the spindle fiber will not be able to attach to the chromosome. </u>
