According to his symptoms, Sam would be diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection.

<h3>What is an upper respiratory infection? </h3>

An upper respiratory infection is a disease caused by an acute infection, which in 90% of cases is due to the presence of a virus and the remaining 10% due to bacteria in the nose, nasal sinuses, pharynx and larynx.

<h3>Characteristics of an upper respiratory infection</h3>

  • The main symptoms are: fever, malaise, congestion and rhinitis, also symptoms such as sore throat, non-productive coughing and difficulty breathing may also occur.

  • Generally, these episodes are of viral origin, with a higher prevalence of rhinovirus, adenovirus, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza A and B, parainfluenza, and others.

Therefore, we can conclude that an upper respiratory infection is one that affects the upper respiratory tract and can cause inflammation in the nose, ears, paranasal cavities, pharynx and/or larynx.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

I would explain that Dan has no symptoms because his diabetes is not in an advanced and uncontrolled state.

Explanation:

Type 2 diabetes is usually a silent disease, which does not allow people to experience any symptoms unless it is already very advanced and uncontrolled. Dan did not feel any symptoms, because the disease is still starting in his body, which facilitates treatment and control. This type of obesity develops from incorrect diet and physical inactivity, but it is possible to control it and live normally with it, mainly in cases like Dan's, which are starting.

A 3-week-old infant has surgery for esophageal atresia. What is the immediate postoperative nursing care priority for this infan
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Checking the patency of the nasogastric tube

A nasogastric tube is used after surgery to decompress the stomach and limit tension on the suture line. As another means of limiting pressure on the suture line, oral feedings should not be implemented in the immediate postoperative period when the nasogastric tube is in place. Vomiting indicates obstruction of the nasogastric tube; this is why the initial action should be to check the patency of the tube. It is too soon for signs of infection to occur.
