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.

SSSSS [86.1K]

The correct answer is 97761 * 2, L6050, Z44.8, Z89.11.  

In the CPT index when one looks for Prosthetics/Training, then one is directed towards 97761. The code is repeated for every 15 minutes. As 30 minutes are spent in training, so 2 units are reported. In the HCPCS level II codebook when one looks for Disarticulation/Wrist prosthesis, one is directed towards codes L6050, L6055. On the basis of description, the prosthesis is reported with code L6050.  

In the alphabetic index of ICD-10-CM, when one looks for fitting/device NOS/prosthetic (external), then one is directed towards the code Z44.8. In the index when one looks for the absence of organ or part (complete or partial)/wrist and hand (acquired) then one is referred towards the code Z89.11.

A species of beetle expresses a pigment protein as an adult but not as a juvenile. The pigment is encoded by the gene PIG. A pro
Deffense [45]

Answer:

The KID protein is responsible for the no pigmentation at the juvenile stage. When the KID protein inhibits in the adult state, the pigmentation occurs in the body. This might occur because the KID protein acts as the repressor molecule and acts as a negative regulator of PIG protein.

The KID protein is responsible for pigmentation an adult stage.  Any mutation in the KID gene might result in the loss of pigmentation in the adult. The KID gene is responsible for the binding of the KID protein and mutation in this gene can lead to the arrest of KID protein. The protein is unable to release and PIG continuously repressed in the adults.
