What are the options?

Is this woman able to move at all?

If it were me, I would try to get her to move around if possible so that she isn't in bed all day getting sores. If she cant move, roll her over every once in a while in bed if possible.

If she is refusing to drink water and cant chew food well, maybe blend the food up, and add a little water? If she still refuses this, you may just have to make her as comfortable as possible and keep trying to give her food and liquids.

I am not a professional and I don't know the specific details of this situation but this is the best answer I can give with the little amount of info there is :/

Describe the process of browning ground meat.
Arte-miy333 [17]
Heat the pan (and oil). In order to brown, rather than steam, the pan needs to be hot. Adding oil is optional but recommended for better browning.
Add the meat to the pan and break it into large pieces. Use a wooden spoon, fish spatula, or other sturdy spatula to break the meat up into large pieces in the pan. Let it brown for several minutes.
Break the beef into smaller pieces as it cooks. As the beef begins to brown, continue to break the meat into smaller and smaller pieces.
Cook until browned (and try not to stir). Try not to stir the beef too much; just stir occasionally until all of the beef is browned.

¿psicología online que recomienden?​
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

No recomiendo ningún tipo de psicología que sea online, remota o a distancia, dado que la psicología como tal requiere de un contacto cotidiano entre el profesional y el paciente, es decir, de sesiones presenciales en las que el profesional pueda evaluar íntegramente al paciente y sus afecciones íntimas. De otra manera, es decir, si el psicólogo no pudiese evaluar en forma presencial a su paciente, se producirían grandes modificaciones en la percepción del profesional respecto de la situación de su paciente, lo que podría conducir a un diagnóstico erróneo, que podría afectar negativamente la eficiencia del tratamiento y, en última instancia, la salud mental del paciente.

Why did Maslow place physical needs at the bottom of the pyramid?
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The basis of Maslow's theory of motivation is that human beings are motivated by unsatisfied needs, and that certain lower needs need to be satisfied before higher needs can be addressed. Needs at the bottom of the pyramid are basic physical requirements including the need for food, air, water, and sleep.
