Explanation:
Pneumonia is a kind of infection that causes the inflammation of the air sacs of lungs. This results in the deposition of the air sacs with pus or fluid, which results in symptoms of fever, pus, cough and difficulty in breathing. A variety of organisms such as fungi, viruses and bacteria can cause pneumonia.
Pneumonia can affect any human being but severe symptoms develops in infants, people of old age, and people suffering from diseases. As these people are likely to have weak immune system.
Among the options given, advance age is the correct option, this is because of the fact that the person is obese 85 year old although his diet is healthy but due to lack of immunity in the older age the risk of development of pneumonia will be the greatest.
Answer:
Transport the patient by ambulance, monitor closely and administer fluids en route.
Explanation:
The rate of a normal resting heartbeat is 60 to 100 per minute. The atria (the two smaller chambers of the heart) contract simultaneously and so does the ventricles (the two largest chambers). This mechanism causes the “double beat” characteristic of the heart: tummy, tummy… Exercise, emotional stress and even stimulating drugs can increase the heart rate to 200 or more beats and cause the heart to beat too fast. When this happens we call it tachycardia.
In the case of the man shown in the question, tachycardia occurs because of the ingestion of caffeinated soda. Although tachycardia is normal for those who use this type of substance, if the heart beats too fast it can lead to congestive heart failure and even myocardial infarction. For this reason, the ideal thing to do for this man is to transport him in an ambulance, closely monitor him and administer fluids on the way, as fluids can adjust the heart rate.
Answer: The most effective treatments for schizophrenia are currently antipsychotics.
Explanation:
Schizophrenia is a serious mental disorder characterized by the interpretation of reality abnormally. The causes for which a person can have schizophrenia are unknown but research shows that genetic factors play an important role when it comes to developing a disease.
Schizophrenia has no cure, treatments are focused on helping to improve the patient's quality of life. That is, the person can control the symptoms of the disease. For many years various medications have been used for the treatment of schizophrenia. Antipsychotics are the most used due to the improvements that people present.
There are the first generation antipsychotics, such as:
- Chlorpromazine
- Fluphenazine
- Haloperidol
- Perphenazine
These antipsychotics have very frequent and very significant side effects such as sedation, drowsiness, dizziness, and symptoms similar to those that a person with Parkinson's disease can have such as stiffness, tremors, and involuntary muscle contractions. The advantage that these medicines offer is their low cost.
There are also second-generation antipsychotics, such as:
- Clozapine
- Olanzapine
- Risperidone
- Ziprasidone
- Iloperidone
These antipsychotics take advantage of the first generation because the side effects are less risky, but their cost is higher.
