You witness someone suddenly collapse the person is unresponsive

Medicine

mezya [45]2 years ago

Answer: Not totally certain if you have any multiple choice answers or anything but here's a general idea of what I would write in response.

Explanation: First step is always going to be asking them if they're okay, the question says they're unresponsive so you want to access the situation. If they are spasming and signs lead to them having a seizure your going to immediately call for an ambulance, don't try to restrain them unless they are potentially going to hurt themselves ie. falling off of something or hitting something dangerous nearby. Restraining them can potentially damage their nerves and muscles more than just letting them flail.

If they don't seem to be having any signs of a seizure then you want to check if they're breathing. If they aren't you need to start performing cpr. Have someone nearby call an ambulance or call 911 and ask for walk-through steps if you aren't certified, that way you know what your doing and you can have that support you if they try to sue you (which won't be a problem because of the good samaritan law anyways) You want to get them laying on their back, tilt their head and make sure nothings restricting their air flow. Then your going to do a couple breaths, if they don't start breathing you'll begin compressions. Compressions, breath, compressions breath. I reccommend looking up appropriate compression techniques for different age people and how to correctly administer if you aren't already aware since I don't want to write a whole article here- I hope this helped!

Which dating technique could you use to get an estimated age in years from a bone that is known to be less than 40,000 years old
Sophie [7]

Answer: Carbon-14

Explanation:

Carbon dating the procedure which is used for the substances which is used to date the substances less than 40,000.

This method is based on an unstable isotope of carbon that living animals and plants incorporate inside it.

When the organisms are alive the ratio of stable isotope inside the organism is same to the ratio that is found in the atmosphere.

As the organism dies the carbon 14 gets converted into nitrogen 14. By measuring both the ratios, the relative age can be determined.

skad [1K]

Clinical manifestations of stroke include severe headaches accompanied by vomiting and vertigo.

<h3>Clinical manifestations of stroke</h3>

The symptomatology depends on the location of the ischemic process, the size of the ischemic area, the nature and functions of the affected area and the availability of collateral flow.

The main sequelae resulting from a stroke are the neurological deficits that will be reflected throughout the body, unilaterally or bilaterally, as a result of the location and size of the brain injury, which may present as signs and symptoms of loss of voluntary control in relation to motor movements.  

With this information, we can conclude that the main symptoms of stroke are severe headache, nausea, and vomiting.

Which medicine is best for typhoid fever​
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The only effective treatment for typhoid is antibiotics. The most commonly used are ciprofloxacin (for non-pregnant adults) and ceftriaxone. Other than antibiotics, it is important to rehydrate by drinking adequate water. In more severe cases, where the bowel has become perforated, surgery may be required.
