Answer: C

Explanation:

In acute trauma, applying cold to the injured area is useful to reduce the inflammation process, which will reduce pain and other inflammatory symptoms. After the first couple hours it is more useful to apply heat. The case doesn't specify any symptoms related to a fracture or any other injury. So the patient should be discharged.

What factors may have led to Mrs. Benson’s dehydration?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

Diarrhea - the most common cause of dehydration and related deaths. The large intestine absorbs water from food matter, and diarrhea prevents this from happening. The body excretes too much water, leading to dehydration.

Vomiting - leads to a loss of fluids and makes it difficult to replace water by drinking it.

Sweating - the body's cooling mechanism releases a significant amount of water. Hot and humid weather and vigorous physical activity can further increase fluid loss from sweating. Similarly, a fever can cause an increase in sweating and may dehydrate the patient, especially if there is also diarrhea and vomiting.

Diabetes - high blood sugar levels cause increased urination and fluid loss. Tips for handling summer heat for people with diabetes.

Frequent urination - usually caused by uncontrolled diabetes, but also can be due to alcohol and medications such as diuretics, antihistamines, blood pressure medications, and anti psychotics.

Burns - blood vessels can become damaged, causing fluid to leak into the surrounding tissues.

a woman comes to the clinic complaining of irregular contractions lasting less than 30 seconds and occurring no more frequently
svetlana [45]

Braxton Hicks contractions.

Braxton Hicks contractions are a tightening in your abdomen that comes and goes. They are contractions of your uterus in preparation for giving birth. They tone the muscles in your uterus and may also help prepare the cervix for birth.

Braxton Hicks contractions feel like muscles tightening across your belly, and if you put your hands on your belly when the contractions happen, you can probably feel your uterus becoming hard.

The contractions come irregularly and usually last for about 30 seconds. While they can be uncomfortable, they usually aren’t painful.

If the pain or discomfort of your contractions eases off, they’re probably Braxton Hicks contractions.
