Answer:

One more reading will be taken to find the accuracy of reading and diagnose high blood pressure.

Explanation:

Every time we measure blood pressure, it is recommended to take two or three readings. If possible readings shall be taken in morning before eating and in evening to measure variations in blood pressure. Many people have postural hypertension and may have low or high BP upon rising or waking up.

GalinKa [24]

Answer: 24 months

Explanation:

According to John Bowlby's Attachment Theory, infants go through 4 stages of attachment which are the Pre-attachment phase, Attachment-in-making phase, Clear-cut attachment phase, and Formations of reciprocal relationships phase.

Anna is in the <em>Formations of reciprocal relationships</em> phase which kicks in at around 24 months. At this stage, infants begin to take into account the feelings of others before acting. They are able to understand what refusal means and so can try to hide things they think are wrong so as not to get into trouble.

n this example we will use the concept of equivalent resistance to determine the current in a circuit. Three identical resistors

belka [17]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The complete question is in the iimage attached.

a) We can see that R1 is in series with the parallel combination of R2 and R3. Hence the equivalent resistance is given by:

$R_{eq}=R_1+(R_2//R_3)\\\\R_{eq}=R_1+\frac{R_2R_3}{R_2+R_3}\\ \\R_{eq}=6+\frac{6*6}{6+6}\\\\R_{eq}=6+3\\\\R_{eq}=9\ \Omega$

The current in the circuit (I) is given as:

I = emf / Req

I = 18 / 9

I = 2A

The current through resistor R1 = I1 = I = 2A

Since R2 and R3 are parallel to each other their respective currents I2 and I3 is given as:

$I_2=I*\frac{R_3}{R_2+R_3}=2*\frac{6}{6+6}=1\ A \\\\I_3=I*\frac{R_2}{R_2+R_3}=2*\frac{6}{6+6}=1\ A$

Which of the following medications have no primary effect on heart rate, but can lower blood pressure

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Calcium channel blocker

These medications lower blood pressure and treat other conditions such as chest pain and an irregular heartbeat.

<h3>What are Calcium channel blocker ?</h3>

Calcium channel blockers are medications used to lower blood pressure. They work by preventing calcium from entering the cells of the heart and arteries.

Calcium causes the heart and arteries to squeeze (contract) more strongly. By blocking calcium, calcium channel blockers allow blood vessels to relax and open.

The medications may also be prescribed to relieve chest pain (angina) and control an irregular heartbeat.

Calcium channel blockers are also called calcium antagonists.
