Answer:

any time a source of energy is obtain using natural means, the 10 % rule will apply. 10 % rule means when energy is passed in an ecosystem from one trophic level to next, only 10% of the  energy  will be passed on. A trophic level is the position of organism in the food chain.

So Quaternary consumers are at the top position in the food chain, they will receive less energy from the food as compared to the primary consumers which are at the bottom of the food chain. so when getting less food and less energy, Because of this, the populations of Quaternary consumers are usually the smallest out of the populations in the food chain.

A nurse is caring for a client with varicose veins. which clinical manifestations should the nurse expect with this diagnosis?
vova2212 [387]
The clinical manifestations should the nurse expect are reports of leg fatigue, tortuous veins in the legs and pain in lower extremities when standing.

In addition, leg fatigue is a communal clinical manifestation triggered by venous stasis and insufficient tissue oxygenation. The vein walls deteriorate and dilate causing distended, bulging veins that look tortuous and darkened. As vein walls weaken and dilate venous pressure increases and the valves turn out to be useless in which vein stasis and inadequate oxygenation end result is limb discomfort. The discolored toenails effect from a fungus below the nail or chronic hypoxia, not varicose veins, confined to a small area of heat in a calf is a mark of thrombophlebitis and reddened zones on a leg are symptomatic of thrombophlebitis.
