Answer: 1-  The client's apical pulse is 68 beats/min and irregularly irregular

Explanation:

Option one is the most important finding because, although it  showed apical pulse rate of 68, which is still within the normal range of 60-100, It pointed out that the pulse rate  is irregularly irregular.which may be  an indication of possible heart failure.

Besides, atrial fibrillation  was  explained with  this  option with the use of the words (irregularly irregular) ,and the use  of digoxin to speed heart rate.Therefore ,  indication of heart failure should be the main sign by the healthcare provider.

natita [175]

Answer:

If you've been taking your medication for a long time talk to your psychiatrist or gp about switching your medication. Most times you have to try different medications until one finally helps.

Also, sometimes medications can't do all the work, combining therapy could help.

Ugo [173]

Ebola virus disease  is the emerging disease with signs and symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea, fever, pain, and headache, and internal and external bleeding

The Ebola virus sickness is a serious and frequently fatal illness brought on by Ebola viruses. Up to 90% of cases during EVD outbreaks end in death. Hemorrhagic fever is a disorder that can be caused by other viruses as well, but Ebola viruses produce one of the most deadly versions.

The more severe forms of hemorrhagic fever can also result in blood vessel destruction and significant external bleeding in addition to the other symptoms of the condition, which include include fever, headache, muscle pain, weakness, vomiting, and diarrhoea (hemorrhage). The mortality rate for EVD can range from 25% to 90%.

Although novel therapies and vaccines are being investigated, there are currently no approved medications or vaccines to treat EVD.
