Answer:

C)Obstructive shock

Explanation:

Obstructive shock is type of shock in which there is a physical obstruction of blood vessels or the obstruction of the heart. It can result from the inability to produce sufficient cardiac output, irrespective of the normal  functioning of the myocardium and intravascular volume. In other words, obstructive shock occurs when blood is not able to go where it is required to go.

One treatment used in treating this type of shock is to give the patient a sufficient amount of intravenous fluids and also drugs that will increase blood pressure to allow the flow of blood to oterparts of the body.

An example of obstructive shock is pulmonary embolism.

Therefore the client described above is at a risk of experiencing obstructive shock.

25. A student measures the distance from a bridge
kkurt [141]

Answer:

(4) As time increased, distance remained

the same

Explanation:

The graph shows that the student measures equal distance everyday from the bridge to the rock for 7 days.

Everyday has an equal distance measured by the student all through the week.

Let's say the point on the vertical axis which represents distance measured is about 1.5 meters. It means that, for day 1, he measures 1.5 meters, day 2, he measured 1.5 meters, by day 3 another 1.5 meters. Same he does for 7 days. For the first 3 days, he would have measured 1.5 m × 3 = 4.5 meters.

This means that, as time (days) increased, distance measured each day remains the same.

Describe the four structural roles of the skeletal system.<br> The Human SKELETAL SYSTEM
makkiz [27]

Answer:

1. Support

2. Protection

3. Movement

4. Supply & Storage

Explanation:

1. Support :  It provides a framework to support the organs and tissues of the body.  

2. Protection:  It protects our internal organs.  The skull protects the brain; the thorax (sternum, ribs and spine) protects the heart, lungs and other viscera (organs within the thorax).

3. Movement:  It provides a framework for muscles to attach.  Then when the muscles contract they pull on the bones of the skeleton, which act like levers to create movement.

4. Supply & Storage:  The bones that make up the skeleton are a source of both red blood cells (which transport oxygen) and white blood cells (which fight infection), which are formed within the bone marrow.
