I'm pretty sure it is prevent injury. Stretching doesn't usually build strength or endurance.
Answer:
Diffusion
Explanation:
The movement of molecules and ions from a region of higher concentration gradient to the region of lower concentration gradient of the molecules. Its direction of movements depends totally on the direction of the concentration gradients.
Fick's Law is the principal law that underscores diffusion. And it sates that the rate of diffusion is directly proportional to the concentration gradients or differences; the surface area available for the molecules to pass through ;<u> but inversely proportional to the thickness of the separating membrane (diffusion distance. </u>
<u />
<u />
Thus the larger the surface area exposed the more molecules pass through into the membrane , the higher the concentration differences the greater the number of molecules willing to break free and escape; but the thicker the separating membranes, the slower the number of molecules getting chances to pass through and the lower the rate of diffusion.
Diffusion.
diffusion acts passively, and the oxygen and carbon dioxide move to the area of lower concentration
Answer:
c) Whenever heartburn occurs (prn) Q.I.D.
Explanation:
- Antacids are OTC drugs (no prescription needed) used to treat heartburn. They are usually salts (aluminium, calcium or magnesium) that neutralize the excess of acid in the stomach.
- Examples of antacids are: Pepto Bismol (P&G), Maalox (SANOFI) and Tums (GSK)
- There are other types of medications that control heartburn, but they do it through a different mechanism: instead of neutralizing the excess of acid, they inhibit the production of acid in the stomach. These are: PPIs (Proton Pump Inhibitors) and H2 inhibitors/blockers. These medications have important side effects and interactions, which is why they shouldn't be taken instead of an antacid to relief sporadic heartburn symptoms.
- Ranitidine (Zantac, by SANOFI) is an example of an H2 inhibitor, and Pantoprazole (Protonix, by Pfizer) is an example of a PPI.
- People who present heartburn only from time to time and have no underlying reflux disease are not prescribed PPIs or H2 inhibitors. It is advised that they take antacids after meals when heartburn occurs, but not in a routinely manner and not for more than 2 weeks. If symptoms persist or worsen, clients should see a doctor.
- Diet and lifestyle changes are also recommended for people who present heartburn; these include: avoiding foods that trigger it such as fried and spicy food & carbonated beverages, eating smaller meals, maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding smoking, and avoiding lying down after eating.
