The parents of a 2-month-old infant often took him along with them on their frequent trips to the mall. One of the grandmothers

suggested that they leave him home, as it was flu season and the malls were full of coughing and sneezing people. The mother immediately responded that she was breast-feeding the baby, and with all those antibodies from her, he was surely protected against any diseases in the mall. Later as she sat at the pediatrician’s office holding her sick baby, she expressed disbelief that he could have caught the flu. If you were the doctor what fallacies in this mother's beliefs could you explain toher?

Answer:

Breast feeding only cannot stop the flu. She should have observed other safety measures.

Explanation:

Breast milk only protects against digestive tract infections; it does not provide bloodstream antibodies against those illnesses that can be stopped by vaccines.

Vaccination against severe illnesses like the flu, provides different antibodies from the antibodies that are transmitted through breast milk. Exposing the baby in an area full of people with the flu made the baby get the flu. Because even though she was breastfeeding, she should have kept the baby away from flu symptoms.

Select any one of biometric techniques and explain the benifit and vulnerabilities associated with that method in 3-4 paragraphs
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Taking the example of hand geometry, i-e fingerprints for verification, it is very easy to implement due to the relatively small size of the sensors. As with all digitally stored biometric data, there are risks of data theft.

Explanation:

Fingerprint sensors use scanners to scan the geometry of the patterns on the skin, usually the fingertips. These patterns are unique to each individual to a very high degree, roughly 1:64,000,000 pairs of fingerprints have the chance of being identical. These sensors are relatively easy to install, are cheap, and very user friendly. This makes this technique a very effective method.

Since the data collected by the scanners is almost always stored digitally in a device which is connected to the internet or has access points, there is always the threat of data theft which can result in identity theft and possible fraudulent activities.

emmasim [6.3K]
For a family of four, a first aid kit would include scissors. A multi-purpose tool would come handy, but is not necessary. Rubbing alcohol is out of the ordinary, and barbiturates are a type of drug unneeded in a first aid kit.
