Answer: b. The elderly have a higher risk from toxic pesticides because they are less able to eliminate environmental toxins.

Explanation:

The older adults are expected to have health problems after a pesticide exposure. This is because of the fact that their metabolism is slow and the liver and kidneys are not able to remove the pesticides from the body. The liver and kidney may get injured during the exposure of the high doses of pesticides.

The longer a pesticide stay in the body of an old person this may result in more severe injury. As the body is slow in metabolism that is the conversion of the chemicals in the pesticides into less toxic metabolites. Thus the elderly people will not be able to eliminate the toxin from the body. The toxin will damage the vital organs and can lead to death.

A five-year-old presents to the emergency department with epiglottitis. what is the nurse's first priority?
fredd [130]

A five-year-old presents to the emergency department with epiglottitis

the nurse's first priority should be control of anxiety,facilitation of learning, Medications, and Hydration.

<h3>Epiglottis</h3>

The throat's epiglottis, a leaf-shaped flap, serves to keep food and liquids out of the windpipe and the lungs. When breathing, it remains open, allowing air to enter the larynx. It closes during swallowing to stop food from being inhaled into the lungs, forcing any liquids or food to travel down the esophagus and toward the stomach.

<h3>Interventions in Nursing</h3>

For a child with epiglottitis, the nursing interventions are:

  • control of anxiety:- The family should demonstrate personal activities that will help the youngster get rid of or lessen emotions of anxiety and stress that are coming from an unknown source.
  • facilitation of learning:- In addition to encouraging progress in the patient's capacity and openness to accept information, the nurse should support their ability to process and comprehend information.
  • Medications:- As directed, give antibiotics such as cefuroxime.
  • Hydration:- Since the child couldn't swallow, adjust the IV fluid as necessary.
