Answer:

Blood pressure cuff is too loose around the arm

Explanation:

Rationale: Using a blood pressure cuff that is too loose would cause the blood pressure to be inaccurately high. Using a blood pressure cuff that is too wide would cause the blood pressure to be inaccurately low. Taking the blood pressure in an arm with intravenous fluids infusing would affect the infusion of fluids but would not necessarily cause a falsely low blood pressure reading. Placing the arm above heart level would cause the blood pressure to be inaccurately low. Placing the arm above heart level causes a falsely low reading of about 2 mm Hg for each inch above heart level.

Active listening is a critical component of effective interpersonal communication. Which is critical to being an active listener
Jet001 [13]
It is D, sharing appreciation for what is being said. Both A and B aren't crucial to being a good listener, in fact in practice they effectively draw attention to yourself, which would be fine if the question was regarding being a good conversationalist. Additionally, C is just completely irrelevant, that wouldn't even be a good conversation practice, let alone a trait important to listening.

Jennifer, a 35-year-old successful businesswoman and a mother, is offered a senior role at work. The role comes with a hefty pay
maw [93]

Answer:

An identity conflict.

Explanation:

Identity conflict occurs when an individual tries to maintain multiple identities in their lives at the same time. In this case, we see Jennifer struggle with decision of choosing her career over her family or vice-versa. She wants to satisfy both her family and her work. If she didn’t have to move to New York City for five years, she could satisfy both her family and her work, but having to making this extremely difficult decision is an example of identity conflict, having to decide one over the other and not be able to have both as she was offered a senior role at work.

From a vial of 100 units of regular insulin, how much (in milliliters) is to be drawn up for a dose of 47 units? ____ mL
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

0.47 mL

Explanation:

     In the case of insulin, an International Unit (IU) is equivalent to 0.01 ml or 0.01 cm³ . In some syringes, a "cylindrical" indication is represented by the symbol "cc". Although incorrect (right is cm³), an equivalence is maintained (0.01 cc = 0.01 cm³ = 0.01 ml = 1 IU). Remember the equivalence between IU and ml or cm³ for insulin.

   So considering that 100 units = 1 mL (100 x 0.01 = 1mL), 47 units will be 0.47 mL (47 x 0.01 = 0.47mL).
