By using the symbols in the table given below, we can draw the following family tree:

Clearly, C is the grandchild of A.

Hence, ‘Grandchild’ is the correct answer.

Given:

Man rows 24 km in upstream and 40 km in downstream and takes 8 hours in each

Formula used:

Speed = Distance/Time

y = ½ (u - v); where, u is speed of rowing downstream, v is speed of rowing upstream and y is speed of stream

Calculation:

Downstream speed = u = 40/8 = 5 kmph

Upstream speed = v = 24/8 = 3 kmph

Given expression,

84% of 9600 + 48% of 6900 = ? + 50% of 2000

⇒ (84/100) × 9600 + (48/100) × 6900 = ? + (50/100) × 2000

⇒ 84 × 96 + 48 × 69 = ? + 50 × 20

⇒ 8064 + 3312 = ? + 1000

⇒ 11376 = ? + 1000

⇒ ? = 11376 - 1000 = 10376

Given:

(a + b) : (b + c) : (c + a) = 6 : 7 : 8

a + b + c = 14

Calculaiton:

(a + b) = 6k

(b + c) = 7k

(c + a) = 8k

⇒ 2(a + b + c) = 21k

⇒ 21k = 2 × 14

⇒ 21k = 28

⇒ k = 4/3

⇒ c + a = 8 × 4/3

⇒ c + a = 32/3

As given,

⇒ b + 32/3 = 14

⇒ 3b + 32 = 42

⇒ 3b = 10

∴ b = 10/3

The correct answer is Gamma Rays.

The correct answer is Tamil Nadu

Key Points

Keeladi:

• Keeladi is a tiny hamlet in the Sivaganga district in south Tamil Nadu.
• It is about 12 km southeast of the temple city of Madurai and is located along the Vaigai river.
• The excavations here from 2015 prove that an urban civilization existed in Tamil Nadu in the Sangam age on the banks of the Vaigai river.

Sangam Age:

• Sangam Age broadly refers to the Ancient History of the Tamilakam, a region south of the Krishna River.
• Kharavelas Hatigumpha inscription, dated to c. 155 BCE provides the earliest epigraphic evidence alluding to a confederacy of Tamil states- Tramiradesasanghatanam, which was 113 years old at the time and had long been a source of danger. 

Relation between Keeladi and Sangam age:

• The Sangam age is a period of history in ancient Tamil Nadu that was believed to be from the third century BCE to the third century CE.
• In 2019, a TNSDA report dated the unearthed artefacts from Keeladi to a period between the sixth century BCE and the first century BCE.
• The findings in the TNSDA report placed Keeladi artefacts about 300 years earlier than the previously believed third century BCE.
• A recent ASI report in 2015 discovered Keeladi, has pushed the Sangam age to 800 BCE based on these archaeological findings.
• Keeladi could also provide crucial evidence for understanding the missing links between the Iron Age (12th century BCE to sixth century BCE) to the Early Historic Period (sixth century BCE to fourth century BCE). 

Engender is to cause or create.

The segment is in passive voice, thus only a verb in third form is eligible for the blank. Among all the given options, only ‘discovered’ fits the blank as the virus already existed in the monkeys but was found in 1970.

Hence, option D is correct.

Saprozoic nutrition is characterized by pinocytosis of soluble nutrients and subsequent formation of phagocytic vacuoles.

Saprozoic nutrition entails the absorption of simple organic molecules and dissolved salt from the environment in order to fulfil the organism's nutritional needs. Saprophytic nutrition is the mechanism of nutrition in which an organism receives nutrients from dead and decaying organic substances.

A male patient has a soft wrist-safety device. Cool, pale fingers assessment finding the nurse should consider abnormal.

A safety device on the wrist may impair circulation and restrict blood supply to body tissues. Therefore, the nurse should assess the patient for signs of impaired circulation, such as cool, pale fingers. A palpable radial or lunar pulse and pink nail beds are normal findings.

Lowering the container of solution creates a siphon effect that pulls the instilled fluid back out through the rectal tube into the solution container. The return flow promotes the evacuation of gas from the intestines. This technique is used only with a return flow enema. This action is appropriate for all types of enemas.

Byssinosis is a rare lung disease caused by inhaling of hemp, flax or cotton particles and is referred to as ‘brown lung disease’.

Nurse Sally is aware that the Opiate withdrawal might be the drug be administered.

Clonidine is used as adjunctive therapy in opiate withdrawal. Symptomatic treatment in opioid withdrawal includes loperamide for diarrhea, promethazine for nausea/vomiting, and ibuprofen for myalgia. Clonidine can be given to reduce blood pressure.

Opioid withdrawal syndrome is a life-threatening condition resulting from opioid dependence. Opioids are a group of drugs used for the management of severe pain. They are also commonly used as psychoactive substances around the world.

The scrub nurse assists the surgeon by providing appropriate surgical instruments and supplies, maintaining strict surgical asepsis and, with the circulating nurse, accounting for all gauze, sponges, needles, and instruments. The circulating nurse assists the surgeon and scrub nurse, positions the patient, applies appropriate equipment and surgical drapes, assists with gowning and gloving, and provides the surgeon and scrub nurse with supplies.

The nurse concludes that the patient has a sufficient knowledge if the patient states that have the serum phenytoin level taken before giving the medication. Taking the prescribed daily dosage to keep the blood level of the drug constant and having a sample drawn for serum drug level before taking the morning dose.

Aerobic respiration is done by Mitochondria.

• Mitochondria are the sites of aerobic respiration.
• They produce cellular energy in the form of ATP, hence they are called ‘power houses’ of the cell.
• A series of chemical reactions occur in the cytoplasm as breakdown products from food digestion find their way into the cell.
• This allows some of the energy stored up in these items to be released and integrated into ATP, the cell's universal energy source (adenosine triphosphate).
• The remaining molecular fragments from this phase then reach the mitochondria, where they are converted to carbon dioxide and water through a complex sequence of steps.
• The energy that has been trapped in these fragments is converted into more ATP.
• The cell can then use the ATP molecules generated in this way to provide the energy it requires to work.
• The mitochondria are the site for aerobic respiration releasing energy in the form of ATP.
• As mitochondria produce ATP (energy) which is then utilized by the entire cell to function, it is thus called the powerhouse of the cell.

Hematinics are drugs which when administered favors erythropoiesis i.e. synthesis of red blood cells and increase the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood.

Hematinics are substances that are essential to the proper formation of the components of blood. Examples of hematinics include folic acid, vitamin B12, and iron. In addition, vitamin D, which helps maintain the health of bones—the reservoirs of new blood cells—may also have a role in protecting hemoglobin and in stimulating the formation of new blood cells.

The nurse must consider the patient’s cognitive abilities to understand drug instructions. If not, the nurse must find a family member or significant other to take on the responsibility of administering medications in the home setting. The patient’s ability to recover, occupational hazards, and socioeconomic status do not affect drug administration.

Glenoid cavity is found in Pectoral girdle.

Pectoral girdle also known as shoulder girdles. At the junction of clavicle and scapula there is cup like depression called glenoid cavity, in which the head of the humerus fits in and forms shoulder joint.

Spirochetes are flexible and can twist and contort their shape, whereas spirilla are relatively rigid. Treponema palldium belongs to the spirochetes group and Spirillum volutans belong to the spirilla group.

An established stoma should be dark pink like the color of the buccal mucosa and is slightly raised above the abdomen. A stoma is the exteriorization of a loop of bowel from the anterior abdominal wall, done during a surgical procedure. It is done for diversion or decompression of the remaining bowel. It may be temporary or permanent, depending on the indication for which it was performed. Most stomas are incontinent, which means that there is no voluntary control over the passage of flatus and feces from the stoma.

The gas that does not cause green house effect is N₂ (g).

Greenhouse gases are those which contribute to greenhouse effect by absorbing infrared radiations. Nitrous oxide, ozone, chlorofluorocarbons are some of the greenhouse gases other than given in the options (A), (B) and (C) of the question. Nitrogen is not a greenhouse gas since it is transparent to infrared light and hence does not absorb it.

All of these are a risk for preeclampsia.

There are several risk factors for preeclampsia. These include the history of hypertension, diabetes, older maternal age, first-time pregnancies (primigravida), and pregnancies with twins or multiples.

Ozone is found in high concentration in the stratosphere of the earth's surface in the form of ozone blanket or commonly known as the ozone layer. The vital function of ozone is to absorb the sun's ultraviolet radiation before it reaches the ground hence protecting the earth from its harmful effect. But the ozone-depleting substance such as Chlorofluorocarbons, nitrous oxides, etc. that reacting with the ozone layer by releasing the reactive chlorine and cause depletion of it forming ozone hole. The concentration of ozone is less than 220 DU in the hole.

The International Council of Nurses (ICN) first adopted code of ethics in 1953.

The International Council of Nurses (ICN) is a federation of more than 130 national nurses associations. It was founded in 1899 and was the first international organization for health care professionals. It is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.

The organization's goals are to bring nurses' organizations together in a worldwide body, to advance the socio-economic status of nurses and the profession of nursing worldwide, and to influence global and domestic health policy.

Most atmospheric ozone is concentrated in a layer in the stratosphere, about 9 to 18 miles (15 to 30 km) above the Earth's surface. Ozone is a molecule that contains three oxygen atoms. At any given time, ozone molecules are constantly formed and destroyed in the stratosphere. The total amount has remained relatively stable during the decades that it has been measured.

The circle of Willis is located at the base of the brain. The Circle of Willis is the joining area of several arteries at the bottom (inferior) side of the brain. At the Circle of Willis, the internal carotid arteries branch into smaller arteries that supply oxygenated blood to over 80% of the cerebrum.

To best ensure the client’s safety, nurse Mary should check the client frequently at irregular intervals throughout the night.

Checking the client frequently but at irregular intervals prevents the client from predicting when observation will take place and altering behavior in a misleading way at these times.

The suicidal individual must be treated in a safe and secure place. In addition, the place has to be monitored.

Chemicals that reduce or inhibit the transmission or perception of pain is endorphins.

• Pain involves changing or inhibiting the transmission of pain impulses in the spinal cord.
• Descending inhibition involves the release of inhibitory neurotransmitters that block or partially block the transmission of pain impulses
• Endorphins are released by the hypothalamus and pituitary gland in response to pain or stress, this group of peptide hormones both relieves pain and creates a general feeling of well-being.
