Ans.

The blood pressure is defined as the pressure applied by blood cells to the wall of blood capillaries. The normal blood pressure ranges between 120/80 to 140/90, in which upper range shows systolic pressure and lower range shows diastolic pressure.


According to given data, the blood pressure of adult is 200/120, which shows an increase in blood pressure. This condition is known as hypertension. Thus, the nurse should perform next nursing intervention by keeping in mind that the patient is having hypertension and there is a need to control his blood pressure as hypertension can lead to various adverse effects on organs and systems of the body.

Answer:

There is an increased risk for having a cerebrovascular accident (brain attack).

Explanation:

The normal range of blood pressure is considered to be 120/80 mm Hg.

In this value of 120/80 mm Hg, 120 is the systolic pressure and 80 is the diastolic pressure.

Now in the given question, it is given that the adult's blood pressure is 200/120 mm Hg which means that the adult has very high blood pressure.

Having such high blood pressure the adult is at risk of having a brain attack as such a high blood pressure can lead to the bursting of the blood vessel that is supplying blood to the brain.

In your own words, justify the statement, “oceanic conditions determine human activities
nadezda [96]

Answer:

The statement "oceanic conditions determine human activities" may be interpreted in many ways. 

1. Oceanic conditions determine human activities in that the moon cycle influences the tide. As the moon cycle is said to greatly influence human activity, and the tide changes as the moon does, it may also be concluded that the tides have a similar influence on human activity. 

2. Weather conditions may also influence oceanic conditions.

   a) Hurricanes and typhoons occur in the ocean and if they make landfall, humans are sometimes required to evacuate the location they will affect. The process of evacuation, and the reparations necessary to human civilization afterward, are both examples of oceanic conditions being influential to human activity. 

   b) Flooding and tsunamis may also result in evacuation, and damage to human civilization.

   c) Global warming, which is resulting in the melting of the polar ice caps, contributes to rising sea levels. Rising sea levels are also oceanic conditions that may affect human civilization in the forms of flooding, erosion, and the ocean expanding, and also determine human activities.
