Answer:

The isomers are enantiomers, with 1 having toxic effects on humans

Explanation:

Many drugs marketed presently are "acemic mixtures of stereoisomers". They are either enantiomers or geometric isomers. What this means is that they are 2 isomers that are mirror images of each other but cannot be superimposed in each other (enantiomers), or they are 2 isomers that aren't mirror images. In the case of the pain reliever drug, there were two mirror isomers, however one of them had toxic effect on humans and rersulted to the fatalities recorded.

Which of the ways drugs affect the body do you personally find the worst? explain why.
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Drugs affect your body's central nervous system. They affect how you think, feel and behave. The three main types are depressants, hallucinogens and stimulants:

The one I find personally the worst - Depressants slow or 'depress' the function of the central nervous system. They slow the messages going to and from your brain. In small quantities depressants can cause a person to feel relaxed and less inhibited. In large amounts they may cause vomiting, unconsciousness and death. Depressants affect your concentration and coordination, and slow your ability to respond to situations. It is important to not operate heavy machinery while taking depressants. Alcohol, cannabis, GHB, opiates (heroin, morphine, codeine) and benzodiazepines (minor tranquillisers) are examples of depressants.

Hallucinogens distort your sense of reality. You may see or hear things that are not really there, or see things in a distorted way. Other effects can include emotional and psychological euphoria, jaw clenching, panic, paranoia, gastric upset and nausea. Ketamine, LSD, PCP, 'magic mushrooms' and cannabis are examples of hallucinogens.

Stimulants speed or 'stimulate' the central nervous system. They speed up messaging to and from the brain, making you feel more alert and confident. This can cause increased heart rate, blood pressure and body temperature, reduced appetite, agitation and sleeplessness. In large amounts stimulants may cause anxiety, panic, seizures, stomach cramps and paranoia. Caffeine, nicotine, amphetamines (speed and Ice), cocaine and ecstasy (MDMA) are examples of stimulants.

those are 3 ways it effects, personally I find the first one/ "Depressants" the worst

dem82 [27]

Answer: 1-  The client's apical pulse is 68 beats/min and irregularly irregular

Option one is the most important finding because, although it  showed apical pulse rate of 68, which is still within the normal range of 60-100, It pointed out that the pulse rate  is irregularly irregular.which may be  an indication of possible heart failure.

You have been dispatched to 29 park avenue for a man having chest pain. as you approach the house, you hear loud voices and verb
Doss [256]

Answer:

No matter how much you want to help, you should not enter the house. If you do, you will be putting yourself at risk.  There is no telling what might happen if you do.  The threats must be serious.

You are putting yourself in danger if you choose to go inside. Though chest pain is a serious condition you should wait till help arrives.

Explanation:

The voices and verbal threats you heard are enough to make you believe that something is wrong. You can find out what's going on by calling the police and waiting for them to arrive.

This situation is not an isolated incident. In the past few years, there have been many cases of intruders being killed by homeowners.
