b) Social mobilization: Social mobilization is used by governments to mobilize national support for goals of national importance. It is the process of raising awareness and motivating people to demand change or particular development.

A knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) survey and an extensive entomologic survey were conducted in two sub-districts of Kamphaeng Phet province, Thailand, to test the hypothesis that correct dengue knowledge and practice reduce dengue vector populations.

We found a negative association between respondents' knowledge of preventive measures and the number of unprotected containers in and around their houses. Knowledge of development sites was positively associated with unprotected containers.

A 68-year-old female who was admitted with shortness of breath. On your arrival, the patient appears drowsy and is on 10L of oxy
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Arterial blood gas (ABG) results from a 68-year-old woman with difficulty breathing show:

  • Oxygenation (PaO₂): hypoxemia
  • pH: acidosis
  • PaCO₂: Hypercapnia
  • HCO₃⁻: normal

whose interpretation is: <u>respiratory acidosis</u>.

Hypercapnia can produce symptoms such as confusion, drowsiness or lethargy, headache, nausea and vomiting and, in severe states, can cause severe unconsciousness and coma.

Explanation:

Respiratory acidosis is due to a failure in the breathing process that produces <u>hypoventilation</u>, decreasing the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO₂) —hypoxemia— and increasing the partial pressure of CO₂ (PaCO₂), called hypercapnia.

  • <u><em>Acidosis</em></u><em> is the result of the accumulation of CO₂ in the body, which is reflected as a decrease in </em><em>pH</em><em> below 7.35, with no change in bicarbonate content.</em>
  • <u><em>Hypoxemia</em></u><em> is the decrease of PaO₂ below 60 mmHg.</em>
  • <u><em>Hypercapnia</em></u><em> is the increase of PaCO₂ in ABG above 45 mmHg.</em>
  • <em>Normal </em><em>bicarbonate</em><em> </em><em>(HCO₃⁻) </em><em>values range from 22 to 28 mEq/L in ABG. This compound can be altered in metabolic acidosis.</em>

<u>Hypercapnia mainly affects the nervous system</u>, producing symptoms that alter the state of consciousness of the affected, also producing headache and even nausea and vomiting.

Norepinephrine acts on the heart by _________
Westkost [7]

Answer:

The correct option is : a. causing threshold to be reached more quickly      

Explanation:

Norepinephrine, also known as noradrenalin, is an organic compound, which belongs to the catecholamine family. It acts as a hormone and a neurotransmitter in the brain and the body and also impacts the heart.

It is one of the hormones secreted by the adrenal medulla. Norepinephrine is a part of the fight-or-flight mechanism of the body. It acts by binding to the β-1 receptors and opens the chemical or ligand gated calcium and sodium ion channels. Therefore, <u>it causes the threshold to be reached faster </u>by increasing the rate of depolarization and thus causes heart arrhythmia.

Therefore, <u>Norepinephrine acts on the heart by </u><u>causing threshold to be reached faster.</u>
