Answer:

The appropriate action would be to monitor the blood pressure of the client.  

Explanation:

Fludrocortisone refers to a kind of drug known as an oral mineralocorticoid. The drug is prescribed for treating a condition known as Addison's disease, in which the adrenal glands do not produce sufficient kind of hormones. The drug assists in substituting those hormones. It is also used in the treatment of a condition known as salt-losing adrenogenital syndrome, that is, a kind of hormonal imbalance. However, one of the potential side effects of the drug is that it can elevate blood pressure in the individuals taking the drug. Thus, there is a need to monitor the blood pressure of the patient in the given case, in order to reduce the threat of the potential side effect of the medicine.

Domestic cattle often have interactions with wild animals. In South America,
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

Bats are the only mammals that can fly, but vampire bats have an even more interesting distinction—they are the only mammals that feed entirely on blood.

Nocturnal Behavior

These notorious bats sleep during the day in total darkness, suspended upside down from the roofs of caves. They typically gather in colonies of about 100 animals, but sometimes live in groups of 1,000 or more. In one year, a 100-bat colony can drink the blood of 25 cows.

During the darkest part of the night, common vampire bats emerge to hunt. Sleeping cattle and horses are their usual victims, but they have been known to feed on people as well. The bats drink their victim's blood for about 30 minutes. They don't remove enough blood to harm their host, but their bites can cause nasty infections and disease.

Hunting for Blood

Vampire bats strike their victims from the ground. They land near their prey and approach it on all fours. The bats have few teeth because of their liquid diet, but those they have are razor sharp. Each bat has a heat sensor on its nose that points it toward a spot where warm blood is flowing just beneath its victim's skin. After putting the bite on an animal, the vampire bat laps up the flowing blood with its tongue. Its saliva prevents the blood from clotting.

Young vampire bats feed not on blood but on milk. They cling tightly to their mothers, even in flight, and consume nothing but her milk for about three months.

The common vampire bat is found in the tropics of Mexico, Central America, and South America.

Hope it helps!

Before the marble starts rolling, it is potential energy. Once it is rolling, it is kinetic energy. You know it stays the same because the marble probably would not be rolling if it weren't. All that's happening is that the ball is rolling faster because of gravity.
