The nurse should explain the indication why the patient is being given aspirin. The patient has chronic arterial insufficiency of the legs and the patient might have been bedridden. Aspirin is more often than not indicated for deep venous thrombosis prophylaxis to prevent pulmonary embolism. The nurse should explain that aspirin is not given for pain but for prophylaxis for a much serious condition. If the patient does not want to take the medication, the patient should not be forced to take the medication; yet the patient should sign a waiver that he does not want to receive medication.
Answer:
The correct answer is-
1. Photosynthesis- Carbon dioxide is a reactant, Oxygen is a product, Carried out in plants, Produces usable energy source.
2. Respiration- Carbon dioxide is a product, Oxygen is reactant, Carried out in animals, Produces usable energy source.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is a complex process which takes place in the green plants which synthesize the energy molecule called glucose. The reaction takes place in the presence of sunlight combining the carbon dioxide and water forming the glucose and oxygen gas.
Respiration is a complex process which involves the breakdown of the glucose molecule in the presence of oxygen and forming the energy molecule called ATP which is utilized in the metabolic reactions. The complex process releases carbon dioxide.
Answer:
C) The benthic invertebrates would decrease in population size because they are eaten by the sea ducks and the phytoplankton would increase in population size.
Explanation:
The benthic invertebrates are eaten by sea ducks. Sea ducks are eaten by bald eagles. If the bald eagle was removed, there would be more sea ducks because they will have no more predators. Since there are more sea ducks, they will need to eat more food, like benthic invertebrates. The benthic invertebrates would have a lower population because the sea ducks eat more of them.
Why not the other answers:
A) The bivalves would not increase in population size. Without the bald eagle preying on sea ducks, there would be more sea ducks, who need to eat more food, such as eating more bivalves.
The phytoplankton would not decrease. With sea ducks eating more food, more benthic invertebrates are eaten. There would be less benthic invertebrates to eat phytoplankton.
B) Tundra swans were never eaten by bald eagles. There is no arrow connecting them.
D) Wading birds were never eaten by ospreys. There is no arrow connecting them.
