Answer:

An infusion pump is a device, which is used to deliver fluids such as medications and nutrients into a patient’s body in controlled amounts. By using the infusion pump, you will be able to deliver large or small amounts of fluids going into the patient’s body. Medications can also be transferred into the patient via the infusion pump (medications such as insulin, antibiotics, painkillers etc.)  

This is a very important development because patients that cannot take medications and nutrients via mouth are treated using the infusion pump.

What aspect of effective communication do you think is most important in the health sciences?
DedPeter [7]

Let's all think about "Health Sciences" for a second. If any of you don't know what this means..it pertains to the field of medical primarily. With that in mind, you NEED to have effective means of communication in this field for many reasons of which some include: patient medical record accuracy, medication accuracy, diagnosis accuracy.

You wouldn't want to go into the emergency room at the hospital because you broke your toe and then all the sudden you are being taken to surgery for a procedure that is taking place on you left L5-S1 (lumbosacral spine). Or perhaps due to inadequate communication processes you could accidently be billed for a procedure that you didn't have and the next thing you know you have a bill in the mail from your health insurance provider stating you owe $23,000 for the procedure that they did not cover. Things like this could happen if you do not practice effective communication in this field.

June’s 3-year-old son gets into the cabinet under the sink. When June finds him, he has vomited and is unresponsive. There are s
Marat540 [252]
<h3>Hi!</h3>

The correct option is A. June should have smelled the child's breath first.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

The first thing that needs to be done when a person ingests a harmful (toxic) substance is to illicit a vomit so that the substance is expelled from the body. Considering June's case, the child had already vomited, and there was no need for June to try to induce further vomiting. What June should have done was to smell the child's breath to know which chemical the child had ingested so that June would be able to clearly explain to the doctors the cause of the child's response, and the treatment could be done accordingly.

<h3>Hope this helps!</h3>
