Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

The normal value range of pH is 7,35-7,45.

If the pH es <u>higher than 7,45</u> we say it is alkalosis and if the pH es <u>lower than 7,35</u> we say it is acidosis. That being said, we can now rule out option B and C.  

Then we have to define <u>respiratory acidosis:</u> it is a decrease of pH because of a high value of PaCO2 (in this case as a result of hypoventilation). The normal range of PaCO2 is 35-45 mmHg.  

So if we take all this in consideration, the only option with a low pH and a high paCO2 is option D.

How would the nurse help a patient experiencing unilateral neglect related to a brain injury restore normal capabilities?
larisa86 [58]

The correct answer for this question is

Reminding the patient to scan the home environment,

Encouraging family members to eat along with the patient

Teaching the patient to touch the affected side of body with the unaffected hand

Patients with unilateral neglect-related cerebrovascular accidents are more likely to fall. To reduce the danger of falling, the patient should be reminded to inspect their living space as they walk. Family members should sit with the patient at meals so they may remind them to attempt to eat with the affected side of their mouth. Helping the patient become conscious of the affected side is teaching them to touch the affected side of their body with the unaffected hand. The patient may benefit from greater coping mechanisms and therapeutic dialogue, but anxious patients will benefit more from these techniques.

During which trimester does a fetus triple in size and begin to recognize voices
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

At first, a fetus cannot distinguish between different voices.

A fetus begins responding to sound at between 22 and 24 weeks but can only hear low frequencies, such as a dog barking or a lawn mower.

As the auditory system and the brain continue to develop, this range increases. By late pregnancy, the fetus can hear voices and distinguish between

so at 22 weeks they're in the middle of the second trimester and can hear sounds but in the 3rd trimester can distinguish between voices
