Answer:
The nurse calls the mother of a school-aged child diagnosed 1 day ago with rubella. The statement by the mother which will the nurse respond to first is:
- My child feels very warm. I am going to give my child some aspirin to decrease the fever.

- This statement will make the nurse to respond first because administering aspirin to that child can cause Reye syndrome which cause the swelling of brain and liver.
- Acetaminophen is effective in reducing the fever and is the preferred antipyretic for children.
Being under highly stressful situations or chronic (long term) stress has been linked to cell death in the brain, with one place being the hippocampus. The hippocampus is responsible for creating new brain cells throughout a person's life. It is also responsible for learning, memory and emotion. Chronic stress creates irreparable damage to the brain's structure and overall function. When these cells are killed or damaged, it has been found that this is linked into mood disorders (such as anxiety and depression) in later life. Being under chronic stress can also put the body into a constant cycle of "fight or flight" mode, which can cause a weakened immune system.
The effects of stress have a real domino effect in the brain, and really I think that this can be linked to all of the above, but if I had to choose one, I would have to go with depression. This is because scientists have found that the hippocampus has the capability of actually <em>shrinking</em> when the brain has been under stress for a long time. I believe this is a primary (first) effect when it comes to brain cells being killed.
The answer is A) squeezing a stress ball to relax.
Retina
The retina is the part of the eye which converts light into electrical impulses with its photoreceptor cells (rods and cones) to the brain. Vision is achieved when light enters the pupil, focused by the lens, and converted into signals in the retina.
