Answer:
The best answer to the question: You should suspect:___, would be, A: moderate dehydration.
Explanation:
This is a 6-month old baby who has been with diarrhea and vomiting for two days. He presents a lessened level of activity, a heart rate of 140 bpm and whose anterior fontanelle appears shrunken due to the loss of water and electrolytes. However, there are also good news: the baby has not had either emesis, or diarrheic episodes for at least 12 hours.
Taking these symptoms into consideration we can say that the child has moderate, and not severe dehydration, or even worse, hypovolemic shock, because his heart rate, which would be one of the most clear indications of severe dehydration, is still within the normal ranges for a child of that age (80 to 160 bpm for children between 2 and 11 months). Also, the child has reduced levels of activity, but there is still presence of activity and he is still concious. Finally, the fontanelle´s situation, although worrisome, is indicative that the volumes in the child are low, but can be brought back up easily enough since he has not presented another episode in 12 hours.
I haven't heard of PRICES method. I only know of PRICE which stands for P - protect
R - rest
I - ice
C - compress
E - elevate
However, since we are dealing with injuries, S can stand for SPLINT. You apply a splint on injuries with broken bones. This is to ensure that the edges of the broken bones will meld and mend together without any difficulty.
Answer:
Can not be determined.
Explanation:
BMR is known as Basal Metabolic Rate which requires information about person's height, weight, age and gender to determine the number of calories burned by a person in a day.
But here only number of calories i.e. 1300 is given which is not enough to find out Alex's Total Energy Expenditure (TEE) as there is no detail about his height, weight and age is given.
Average BMR in the USA:
For Women it is 1493 calories.
For Men it is 1662 calories.
BMR is different from BMI (Body Mass Index) because to find out body mass index only the data related to height and weight is required.
