Two patients are being seen for pneumovax revaccination. the first patient is 66 years old, a known diabetic, and received the first dose of the vaccine at age 60. the second patient is 76 years old, has no known disorders, and received the first dose of the vaccine at age 70. the nurse recognizes that revaccination will be required for which patient(s)?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is " Both the patients need re-vaccination"

As per the “Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)” it is recommended that all adults of age 60 or above are at high risk of pneumococcal disease. As per their statistics every year thousands of adults die because of pneumococcal diseases.

CDC recommends that two series of vaccines against pneumococcal diseases is sufficient to protect adults against this disease:

• PCV13 (pneumococcal conjugate vaccine)

• PPSV23 (pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine)

As per CDC all adults with age 65 or above but since the first patient of 66 years of age is diabetic, he must also get re-vaccinated along with the second patient of age 76 years.

You decide to put $150 in a savings account to save for a $3,000 down payment on a new car. If the account has an interest rate of 2.5% per year and is compounded monthly, how long does it take you to earn $3,000 without depositing any additional funds? A. 10.1101 years
B. 119.954 years
C. 121.321 years
D. 134.34 years

Answers

Principal amount deposited in a savings account = $150
Final amount of money needed = $3000
Percentage of interest = 2.5%
Let us assume the time taken = t years
Then
A = P (1 + r/n) ^ nt
3000 = 150(1 +0.025/12)^t
3000 = 150 * (1 + 0.002083)^t
(1.002083)^t = 20
Taking log on both sides we get
log (1.002083)^t = log 20
t * ln(1.002083) = ln(20)
t = ln(20)/ln(1.002083)
= 1439.68
= 119.973 years
From the above deduction we can easily conclude that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option or option "B".

Which group of plants require water for sexual reproduction to occur?a. dicot angiosperms
b. monocot angiosperms
c. cone bearing gymnosperms Eliminate
d. seedless non-vascular plants

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The gametophyte of these lower plants produces haploid spores/gametes. These spores/gametes either produce new gametophytes or swim and fuse with another haploid spore/gamete to produce a zygote. The zygote grows into a sporophyte (the other phase of these plants’ life cycle). This is why these plants thrive in moist conditions. Examples are mosses, liverworts, and ferns.

Select the items that describe economic growth. Unemployment is very high. Businesses make more products. Consumers spend more money. Producers earn more revenue. It is part of the economic cycle.

Answers

Answer;

Businesses make more products.
Consumers spend more money.
Producers earn more revenue.

Explanation;

Economic growth refers to the upward trend in the economy of a country or a state. It is the increase in the country's produce, that is goods and services over a period of time.
Economic growth is marked by the creation of more profit for business, thus the price of stock or goods increases. As a result the rate of employment increases as the companies have more capital to invest and employ more people.
As the rate of employment increases, the level of income also increases which means the consumers will have more money to spend on buying more goods and services.

I believe that the items that describe economic growth are Business make more products, consumers spend more money, and producers earn more revenue.

Sexual reproduction amongst protozoa is done by _____.internal fertilization
release of spores
conjugation of two mature cells

Answers

Protozoa (unicellular eukarotic organisms) typically reproduces asexually, but sometimes it reproduces sexually, too.

When it reproduces sexually it typically reproduces by conjugation of two mature cells - which means that neither of the cells is "male" or "female"

Mice that have been given morphine are very likely to develop blood poisoning because bacteria that normally reside in the intestine typically respond to morphine by migrating into the bloodstream. However, when mice are given both morphine and the new drug naltrexone, blood poisoning is much less frequent, although it does still occur. These results provide support for researchers’ prediction that naltrexone will turn out to be toxic to certain types of bacteria. Which of the following, if discovered to be true, would most seriously weaken the support for the researchers’ prediction? A. After being administered to mice, naltrexone does not pass from the bloodstream into the intestine. B. Naltrexone inhibits morphine from triggering the migration of intestinal bacteria into the bloodstream. C. Mice that have been given naltrexone but not morphine have no greater risk of developing blood poisoning than do mice that have not been given either substance. D. The increased risk of blood poisoning is not the only harmful effect on mice of being given morphine. E. Conditions other than the presence of intestinal bacteria in the bloodstream can cause blood poisoning in mice
