what condition is most likely represented by clear fluid draining from the nose of a client that suffered a trauma to the head s
lubasha [3.4K]

When you have a runny nose, "brain fluid leaking" typically isn't the first thing that comes to mind.

<h3>Why does CSF flow out of my nose?</h3>

The skull bone injury causes CSF to seep through the nose. Drainage of clear, watery fluid through one or both sides of the nose is the most typical sign of a CSF leak. When bending forward, tilting the head, or straining, this leaking can get worse.

<h3>Why is clear fluid dripping from my nose?</h3>

Allergies and illnesses like the common cold and influenza are the most frequent causes of clear liquid pouring from the nose. Another cause of a persistent runny nose is vasomotor rhinitis, in which there is no obvious reason why the condition exists. A leaking nose can be caused by nasal polyps, migraines, foreign bodies, and, very rarely, certain tumors.

Recovery from a severe metabolic acidosis is most dependent on which of the following?
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: Recovery from a severe metabolic acidosis is most dependent on which of the following? would be, D: Arterial pH.

Explanation:

When a person reaches such a severe situation, as having metabolic acidosis, then it means that his body systems are not being able to use the mechanisms to restore the normal acid-base balance within it. Normally, a person needs to have an acid-base balance of 7.35 to 7.45. Drops below or above these numbers will result in acidosis or alkalosis and in severe problems. The way that the body can tell if there is something going on with the pH levels in the blood is through a series of chemoreceptors, especially in the neck, that constantly measures the amount of CO2 molecules in the blood and especially, the pH (acidity or alkalinity) given by the excessive presence, or absence, of acids in the blood. There is another ration that is important for the body, and it is the presence of bicarbonate ions, which will help balance out the amount of H+ ions produced by normal cell function, or increased cell function. In metabolic acidosis, the amount of H+ vs. bicarbonate ions is immense, H+ winning by far over bicarnonate, and a series of steps are taken by the body to restore the 20:1 ratio, and especially return the pH to its normal range. All mechanisms point towards that one measure: pH. Once the level of pH has been reached, we can tell a person is finally coming out of metabolic, or recovering from, metabolic acidosis.

Quantos meses o bebê fica no ventre?​
Mademuasel [1]

sorry I don't know pla

Answer:

Aqui começa a trajetória do bebê dentro da barriga da mãe. Neste momento ele é uma minúscula bolinha formada por centenas de células que se multiplicam freneticamente. Quando essa bolinha de células (chamada blastocisto) se assentar no útero, a parte dela que se transformará na placenta vai começar a produzir o hormônio da gravidez (gonadotrofina coriônica humana, hCG). O hCG é o hormônio detectado nos testes de gravidez.
