The nurse would first assess the baby's respiratory rate and pattern. The assessment supposedly is done when the baby is resting and ensure that there are about 30 - 60 breaths per minute. Baby's breathing is the synchronous rising of the abdomen, diaphragm, and chest.
The nurse would also reassure the mother that its common for the baby to have irregular inter spaced breathing with brief 10 - 15 seconds of apnea.

For a nurse it is quite normal because she knows the pattern of breathing of a small baby but for a primipara ( a lady who is giving birth for the first time ) it might not be  acceptable to understand the fact that a newly born baby has an irregular breathing  pattern switching in between fast and slow .

As she is a new mother she might not be aware of the fact that a baby breathes very fastly to compensate the amount of energy required to maintain the homeostasis of the baby.As the baby is in growing stage the amount of energy required is much more as compared to that of adults.

Hence , the nurse will not take any medical action as the baby is not sick but yes she will definitely tell the mother that it is normal in baby

In what way can open-mindedness interfere with scientific progress
umka2103 [35]
<span>Open-mindedness does interfere with scientific progress as it can lead to acceptance of untested ideas. Open-mindedness can lead to actually accepting results that are not true. This is not a great angle for people involved with scientific experiments. Open-mindedness should be limited to the fact that the results can lead to negative answers. People that can accept this theory will ultimately succeed in their strive for creating something new. There is nothing wrong in discarding the results that does not seem to fit the bill.

Describe the actual and relative sizes of a virus, a bacterium, and a plant or animal cell.
anzhelika [568]

Answer :

The animals are categorized into 2 groups - eukaryotes and prokaryotes. The microbes like bacteria are coming under prokaryotes. They are unicellular organisms and without a true nucleus.

Viruses are the connecting link between the living and non - living. They are smaller than bacteria. The microbes less than 100 micrometer can't be seen by the naked eye. They can only visible under a microscope.

Viruses like polio, flu virus sizes are 10nm. But some of the viruses are also less than 10nm. The size of bacteria is 1 micrometer. The viruses are 10 times smaller than the bacteria.

The eukaryotic organisms are more advanced and multicellular. Their cell size is larger than bacteria and viruses. The red blood cells under the light microscope are 8 micrometers. The typical animal cells like sperm are 60 micrometers and a skin cell is 30 micrometers. The plant cell for example pollen is 90 micrometers.

The eukaryotic cells sizes are more than prokaryotes like bacteria.

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

The correct sequence is: Hypothalamus, Pituitary, Adrenal

Explanation:

The endocrine system comprises of cells, tissues, and organs that discharge hormones as an essential or auxiliary capacity. The endocrine gland is the significant part in this system. The essential capacity of these ductless glands is to discharge their hormones straightforwardly into the encompassing liquid. The interstitial liquid and the veins at that point transport the hormones all through the body. The endocrine system incorporates the pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, adrenal, and pineal organs
