Answer:

The answer is B, control variable; Different groups of cattle are given different doses of antibiotics.

Explanation:

Control variable is a variable that is held constant in order to assess or clarify the relationship between other variables in an experimental design. Essentially, a control variable is what is kept the same throughout the experiment, and it is not of primary concern in the experimental outcome. Any change in a control variable in an experiment would invalidate the correlation of dependent variables (DV) to the independent variable (IV), thus skewing the results.

The concern of the experiment is the relationship between antibiotics and growth rate, hence the animals will be grouped in at least 3 treatment groups and each would be given different level of antibiotics, and a control group which won't be given any antibiotics. Though every other variable like feed, drink, temperature etc will be same for all groups including the control group in order to prevent bias.

At the end of the experiment, the control group which wasn't given any antibiotic will be compared with those groups which were given, hence the group which performs best would be determined.

Fittoniya [83]
 They use cognitive biases like framing, loss aversion, status quo etc. to elicit an emotional response in hopes of you making impulsive purchases.

You can use skepticism by listening more carefully to what is being said and looking up any claims made by the advertiser. Like if they say they are the cheapest car insurance, you don't just believe them you compare prices.

The client has had asymptomatic sinus bradycardia with a rate of 56 beats/min. the nurse notes the rate has dropped to 46 beats/
lisabon 2012 [21]
I think the nurse should asses the blood pressure, skin color, and moisture. Sinus bradycardia may be defined as a sinus rhythm with resting heart rate of 60 beats per minute or less. However few patients become symptomatic until their heart rate drops to less than 50 beats per minute. Intervention for sinuses bradycardia should be based on assessment of the clients condition. The patient may remain asymptomatic, the nurse may choose to increase the IV flow rate, administer atropine, or notify the Rapid Response Team depending on the severity of the symptoms.
