Answer:C) The patient may have internal bleeding and cuts may not stop bleeding.

Explanation:

Platelets are cells that form scabs to help stop the bleeding of wounds. When you have low platelets, you can have fewer scabs at a time, so wounds will bleed more. If you have dangerously low platelets, any wound you have will not close and you will not stop bleeding without outside help.

Michael is stuck due to an electric shock generated at the fridge. What should you do to save Michael?
notka56 [123]
Under most normal circumstances and as an EMT. You should just turn off power to the fridge using the fuse box. However in this circumstance your best answer is to pull him away using a nonconducting material keeping yourself away from the fridge as much as possible. You would move him a safe distance from the fridge and listen for a pulse, breathing, and just to see if he is conscious. If he is pulseless, Apneic (not breathing), and Unresponsive you start CPR.

How would a stenotic (narrowing) bicuspid (mitral) valve affect the movement of blood
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Mitral stenosis causes reduced blood flow through the narrowed valve opening from the left atrium to the left ventricle. As a result, the volume of blood bringing oxygen from the lungs is reduced. This can make you feel tired and short of breath.
