What are the two main causes of skin cancer
True [87]

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is the number one cause of skin cancer, but UV light from tanning beds is just as harmful. Exposure to sunlight during the winter months puts you at the same risk as exposure during the summertime. Cumulative sun exposure causes mainly basal cell and squamous cell skin cancer, while episodes of severe blistering sunburns, usually before age 18, can cause melanoma later in life. Other less common causes are repeated X-ray exposure, scars from burns or disease, and occupational exposure to certain chemicals.

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Which finding would first indicate that naloxone administration has been effective? Would be: An increase in respiratory rate from 8 to 12 rpm.

Explanation:

Narcotic drugs, especially heroine in large amounts (overdose) have the opposite effect to what they are usually meant for, which is excitatory. In overdoses heroine and other narcotid drugs will cause a CNS depression and therefore most body functions will be severely affected, as it is seen from the blood pressure and heart rate of this patient, as well as his/her respiratory rate. But most worrying of all is that heroine, as a depressant, can lead a patient to comatose states, and even total respiratory failure. Naloxone, the medication designed to revert the effects of several narcotic drugs, such as heroine, will first be seen in action with the increase in respiratory rate, as the depressive effects start to decrease. Other functions such as heart rate, blood pressure and levels of conciousness will start picking back up as the body gets rid of the substance. But Naloxone will first revert the depression on the respiratory centers in the brain.
