Answer:

The patient is at fault here.

It would help if the nurses and doctors who did the procedure wrote everything they did down so I could see what they did wrong.

Explanation:

The patient should not have been smoking after undergoing the surgery and should have cleaned their wound everyday as (Hopefully) instructed.

Hope this helps:

I think the nurse who takes care of the patient is at fault because she is supposed to take care of her and not let her get worse.

I also choose the nurse because the patient says that she's experiencing pain at the surgical site and the nurse provided the patient with wound care on the day the patient was in the ER

But if this is a trick question I would say the sister because she is the only other character in this scenario that doesn't have a backstory like the patient and the nurse and then the information that is missing would be the sister's backstory.

To find where I got the characters I put them in bold.

A 48 year old female patient has recently undergone surgery for a knee replacement.

The past  medical history of the patient includes Diabetes Type 2, a partial hysterectomy, asthmatic, and  Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Two weeks post-op the patient presents in the ER with an elevated  temperature, swelling, and redness in the surgical incision site.

The patient also says that she's  experiencing pain at the surgical site and chills.

Her sister accompanied her to the ER and said  that the patient has started back smoking cigarettes and only cleans the surgical site every couple  of days.

The nurse who took care of the patient in the recovery room the day of the surgery  provided the patient with wound care instructions and used aseptic technique, proper PPE, and  instructed the patient on wound care.

<3 Enjoy,

What is the inter relationship between language and cognition across the lifespan
Gnom [1K]

Answer: The answer is...

Explanation: Language development has been correlated with specific changes in brain development. The aim of this paper is to analyze the linguistic-brain associations that occur from birth through senescence. Findings from the neuropsychological and neuroimaging literature are reviewed, and the relationship of language changes observable in human development and the corresponding brain maturation processes across age groups are examined. Two major dimensions of language development are highlighted: naming (considered a major measure of lexical knowledge) and verbal fluency (regarded as a major measure of language production ability). Developmental changes in the brain lateralization of language are discussed, emphasizing that in early life there is an increase in functional brain asymmetry for language, but that this asymmetry changes over time, and that changes in the volume of gray and white matter are age-sensitive. The effects of certain specific variables, such as gender, level of education, and bilingualism are also analyzed. General conclusions are presented and directions for future research are suggested.
