Answer 1

Answer:

Answer:

1. Allow observation of internal cavities. = Endoscope (G)

2. Produces three-dimensional images. = PET scan (D)

3. Caused by a parasite. = Infection (A)

4. What the patient reports to the healthcare provider. = Symptom (C)

5. Offers clear and complete image of internal anatomy. MRI (B)

6. Tracks pathway of glucose to detect tumors. CT Scan (H)

7. Measurable finding by a healthcare provider. Sign (F)

8. Heart attack. Acute (E)

1. Endoscope is one of the specialized instruments (particularly, a flexible tube) being used in the hospital in order to detect a patient's underlying condition. This process is known as"Endoscopy."The endoscope allows the doctor to do a non-invasive procedure in order to check the condition of the person's internal cavities. The doctor can see the cavities through the tube's attached camera. This is commonly used to check the condition of the digestive tract.

2. PET scan is also known as Positron Emission Tomography scan. It is one of the imaging tests that a doctor uses in order to check a person's organs and tissues. The person undergoing the test needs to be injected with a dye that contains a radiotracer. The tracer is accumulated in the area that is to be examined within an hour or so. The PET scanner will then show three-dimensional images of the organs/tissues, so the doctor will know whether they are functioning normally.

3. Infection- an infection can be caused by different microorganisms such as parasite, bacteria, virus, protozoan, fungus, etc. A parasitic infection is caused by a parasite. Oftentimes, this infection can go away on its own without any treatment or medication if a person's immune system is strong. However, there are also deadly cases such as Malaria. The parasite can be transmitted to humans when its vector, the mosquito, bites the person.

4. Symptom refers to the experience that the person is having in relation to his disease. This is subjective and only the person knows his symptoms. For example, a person goes to the doctor complaining of a headache and low-back pain. Headache and low-back pain are examples of symptoms. The doctor cannot see nor experience it, but only the patient does since it is subjective.

5. MRI is also known as Magnetic Resonance Imaging. This is one of the imaging tests to detect a person's condition or disease. It uses a large radio waves, a large magnet and a computer in order to get a clear and complete image of the internal anatomy. This is very common in detecting cancers, tumors and other important conditions in the body. It is very important for the patient to remove all accessories (particularly, metal objects) before the scan because the magnet is very strong. The test takes less than an hour or so.

6. CT Scan = this is also known as "Computed Tomography" scan. This uses X-rays and a computer in order to provide an image of a bone, internal organ or blood vessels being observed. People who experienced car accident often have this scan in order to detect signs of internal hemorrhage or bleeding. It can also detect cancer or heart disease. The scan normally takes 15 to 30 minutes.

7. Sign refers to what the doctor can observe in a patient. This is opposite to symptom because it is objective. For example, a patient complains of "feeling hot" then the doctor takes his temperature and finds out that he has a 38 degrees Celsius temperature. The symptom here is what the person feels, "feeling hot," while the sign here is the 38 degrees temperature. The latter is what the doctor observes, then he will conclude his diagnosis from here.

8. Acute Heart Attack = Heart attack is also known as "Myocardial Infarction." This happens when there is a blockage in the artery that supplies oxygenated blood to the heart. The blockage is caused by plaques that restricts the flow of blood. Once the plaques burst, it causes a blood clot and this blocks the artery. An acute heart attack develops suddenly. This means that there is no warning. Sometimes these attacks can be caused by infections, allergic reactions, viruses, irregular heartbeats, etc.

1. how would you differentiate your heart rates before and after exercising?2. what is the advantage of timing for a full minute to find your pulse?
3. what is the advantage of timing over a shorter period of time, especially when you have just finished exercising?

Answers

Answer 1: You can differentiate your heart rate before and after exercise by taking your pulse.

Explanation:

In order to find the pulse rate, place your index and middle finger together at your wrist joint between the bone and also the connective tissue over your arterial blood vessel ,which is found on the thumb facet of your wrist joint. You would feel the pulse, then start counting the amount of beats in fifteen seconds. After that times it by 4 to get the pulse rate per minute.

____________________________________________________________

Answer 2: The advantage of timing your pulse for a full minute is you get your pulse exactly beats per minutes vs an estimate.

Explanation:

Normally pulse rate is calculated for 15 seconds and then multiplied by 4. But this case may lead to inaccuracy, as the pulse rate may vary over the time period of one minute. therefore, it is best to find the number of beats per minute instead of 15 seconds.

____________________________________________________________

Answer 3: The advantage of timing your pulse over a shorter period of time (especially when you have just finished exercising) is after exercise your heart rate will begin to fall and by testing, in a shorter time you get a more accurate heart rate. The more time that passes after you stop exercising, the lower your heart rate will be.

Explanation:

Usually what happens during exercise is that the blood flow increase in the body and the heart pumps more blood into the veins and hence the pulse rate increases. But once you are done exercising, the blood flow gradually slows down and heart rate also decreases to a normal speed.

Why is it important that goals be measurable

Answers

It is important for goals to be measurable because it adds to their specificity and allows you to track your progress toward your achievement. With measurable goals, you can know exactly what you are trying to accomplish and what you need to meet to improve. For example, if you set a goal saying, “I want to be doing 80 sit ups in a minute by the end of this month by increasing my total amount of sit ups by 4 a day” you are now not only able to track how much you are increasing each day, but can see your specific total you are working for and track your progress on your way to reaching that goal.

Always make sure to set realistic goals that follow the MAD guidelines:
M-Measurable
A- Attainable
D- Deadline Driven

I hope this helps! :)

Answers

Air is conducted/entered through the Bronchi. The trachea is the windpipe and is a passage way for air. The alveoli are the tiny sacs that help transport carbon dioxide and oxygen to and out from our lungs. D takes the blood and makes it de-oxygenated I think. The best answer would be A.
