What successes and challenges did you face with your original schedule? How are your scheduling changes going to help you overco
Elina [12.6K]
My successes were swimming 20 laps, getting B’s in Music/Art, dancing for 33 minutes, not getting the virus, staying at home, getting a B for my speech and completing homework at home. My challenges we’re swimming regularly, not understanding what the hard questions were, D’s for Geography/Science, exams with low grades, getting in shape and at school I get bullied.

My scheduling changes are going to overcome my challenges because when I swim/dance/exercise a lot I get fitter/stronger, reading the question properly/getting help will help me understand the question better, asking my teachers on what to do so I can do better for Geography/Science, study more on my exams, overcome getting bullied by telling the teacher/thinking a way to fix the problem: find friends to defeat your enemies/ tell your bullies to stop.

salantis [7]

Answer:

The health professional who takes care of the case of the boy with fragile X syndrome should know that it is common for patients with this syndrome to have mitral valve prolapse.

Explanation:

Fragile X syndrome (FXS or SXF) is a genetic and hereditary condition, responsible for a large number of cases of mental deficiency and behavioral disorders, affecting one in 2,000 boys and one in 4,000 women. The syndrome is caused by mutations in the FRM1 gene present in a flaw called the fragile site located at the end of the long arm of the X chromosome.

For many carriers of the mutation, fragile X syndrome is asymptomatic. However, it is common for individuals with this syndrome to present behavioral disorders and intellectual impairment that can be present in different degrees, from mild learning or speech difficulties.

Some physical characteristics may suggest the presence of the syndrome from birth. This is the case of macrocephaly and low muscle tone. There are other subtle signs of the syndrome that become more evident with growth. They are: elongated face, large flapping ears, prominent jaw, very high and arched roof of the mouth, strabismus and myopia, joint hyperextension, hollow chest, mitral valve prolapse, recurrent otitis and, in 20% of cases, convulsions.
