Answer:

The clam would die. This is because its cells would swell up and lyse. The freshwater is hypotonic to the cell’s protoplasm. Water, therefore, enters the cells through osmosis and the cell swell up until the water pressure inside causes them to burst. The cells die and therefore the clam is unable to survive in the freshwater.

The salt in the popcorn is taken up by the body and hence the concentration of electrolytes in the blood slightly increases. This causes a feedback mechanism to be  initiated by the body –hypothalamus in particular-  to restore electrolyte homeostasis. The thirst is as a result of an increase in antidiuretic hormone in the body produced by the pituitary gland.

KATRIN_1 [288]

<u>Answer:</u>

Greenhouse gas refers to any gaseous compound in the atmosphere that can absorb infrared radiation, thereby trapping heat and keeping it in the atmosphere. By increasing the heat in the atmosphere, greenhouse gases are responsible for the greenhouse effect, which ultimately leads to global warming.

<u>Examples why greenhouse gases in the atmosphere:</u>

  • farming cattle releases methane
  • farming rice in paddy fields releases methane
  • burning fossil fuels in vehicles and power stations releases carbon dioxide
  • deforestation releases carbon dioxide and reduces the absorption of carbon dioxide through photosynthesis

A federally funded research study involving children 8 to 12 years old involves collecting a single voided urine sample to asses
777dan777 [17]

Answer: A federally funded research study involving children 8 to 12 years old involves collecting a single voided urine sample to assess the frequency of asymptomatic <em>proteinuria</em>.

Your IRB has determined that assent of children age 8 and older is required for the study. A 10 year old firmly declined to participate in the study.

The best procedure that describes the <u>action </u>to be taken by the investigator is:

  • Honor the Childs decision .

Explanation:    

The <em>purpose</em> of the IRB is to <em>assure that appropriate steps are taken</em> to <em>protect the rights </em>and welfare of humans participating as subjects in a research study. It promotes <em>fully informed and voluntary participation</em> by prospective subjects capable of making such choices (or, if that is not possible, informed permission given by a suitable proxy), and seeks to maximize the safety of subjects.

The capacity admits degrees. The same patient may be able to decide certain things and not others. So, the more transcendent or delicate a decision is, the higher the level of capacity required must be. When the patient <u>is not capable, it is up to his relatives to make the decisions.</u>

It is important to learn effective ways to give feedback to be an effective communicator and professional. For this
posledela

No, I don't think that Jade's feedback was effective because she was not very direct.

<h3>What is Feeback?</h3>

This refers to the response that is given to a person based on a query and is a part of effective communication.

Therefore, some suggestions that Jade can use to improve her feedback to Carla are:

  1. Be clear and direct
  2. Do away with words like "I thought", "I kind of assumed", etc.
  3. Give a procedure that can be easily understood by Carla
