Hospitals
A hospital is an institution for health care providing patient treatment by specialized staff and equipment. Questions about various hospitals and health care find a place in this category.

Can you visit someone in the hospital if you have a cold?
The hospital would better answer this question, however if you ask them for a mask that covers your nose and your mouth, you may still be able to get in and see whomever is in the hospital.

What does a code red alarm mean in a hospital?
A code red alarm in a hospital means
- A fire occurring in the facility, indicating that emergency measures should be taken
- Weather conditions that are potentially hazardous to health due to pollutants and/or high air temperatures
- A patient arriving with burns
- An external disaster and incoming casualties with life-threatening injuries
How do you get a letter from a hospital to show your boss you were at the hospital?
You can ask the doctor or nurse at the time of the visit to write a general excuse for your boss. Or, if you've already visited and forgot to ask for the note, call the department or office where you were seen and ask who can write a note to verify you had been seen on xx date/time. Most notes can be written by a clerk typist, and may need a doctor's signature as well.
Question 9 of 20 The National Response Framework is?
part of the larger National Strategy for Homeland Security
Iceland, located at 63-67°N and 18-23°W, has considerably milder climate than its location just south of the Arctic Circle would imply. A branch of the Gulf Stream, the Irminger Current, flows along the southern and the western coast greatly moderating the climate. The cold East Greenland Current flows west of Iceland, but a branch of that current, the East Icelandic Current, approaches Iceland's northeast- and east coasts.
What happens if you swallow acetylcholinesterase inhibitor?
It depends. AChEI (as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors are abbreviated) show up in about four instances in medicine:
- They're used in very small oral dosages to diagnose and treat neurologic disorders like Myasthenia gravis.
- They're also used to treat Alzheimer's, Lewy body dementia, and other similar disorders.
- They're used in ophthalmic procedures, particularly those related to glaucoma.
- AChEI's are used as antagonists to anticholinergic agents (a neurotoxin).
- And AChEI's are used as chemical weapons or as antidotes in accidental poisonings.
The way this works is:
Acetylcholine is released from the terminal end of a motor nerve, flooding across the synapse to interact with acetylcholine receptors on the post-synaptic cell or muscle fiber. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is an enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine in the synapse, preventing it from having its effect on the post-synaptic cell. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors bind to AChE, thereby inactivating it. AChEIs can be permanent or temporary, depending on the particular chemical. Permanent AChEIs bind to AChE irreversibly and prevent it from breaking down any acetylcholine ever again, and the enzyme must be reproduced before there is any AChE activity again. Reversible AChEIs bind for a short time or the effect can be overcome by increased levels of acetylcholine. Some agents are reversible early and become permanent later on.
Excess acetylcholine in the synapses cause numerous effects throughout the body, a syndrome called cholinergic crisis. Symptoms include excessive tearing, salivation, sweating, bronchorrhea (excessive secretions in the lungs), confusion, coma, seizures, loss of bowel and bladder control, fasciculations, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and sometimes muscle rigidity or flaccidity (depending on the particular agent and dosing).

Death by this means can be excruciating. It can be counteracted if treated quickly, and it's easily detectable. Its use was considered and rejected for lethal injection of capital offenders.
As I note all the categories you've chosen for this question, I'm going to take the extra step of saying that, as a euthanasia agent or a means of suicide, this is not a good way to go at all. It's not hard to detect this agent.
If euthanasia is the goal you're pursuing, I think you'd be better off to pursue legal, medically administered options, that are less painful and don't have legal repercussions.

And AChEI's are used as chemical weapons.
The way this works is: Acetylcholine forms and connects two synapses, those activating a muscle. Acetylcholinesterase dissolves Acetylcholine when the synaptic transmission is complete, thus allowing the muscle to relax. AN AChEI blocks the formation of acetylcholinesterase, thus leaving the muscle in an activated state -- which is to say, rigid paralysis. As this can paralyse the respiratory muscles, it's an effective chemical weapon. There are three types of AChEI's: Permanent which destroy the ability to create acetylcholinesterase forever, temporary, which is self-explanatory, and quasi-permanent which may respond to treatment.

What phrases most accurately describes the National response framework?

It depends on what the charges are. If it was anything to do with drugs or theft probally not. You can also seal your records(not for all charges), so on your job app you can mark the box that's says you have NOT been convicted of a crime.
What are some entities of hospital system?
A hospital system is organized as beds, which includes all the medical ans clerical staff and all the infrastructure needed to support those beds. That's why whenever you hear anyone referring to a hospital they mention how many beds it has, or how many beds it supports.
Why would it be inappropriate for the shoulder to be a hinge joint?
Imagine a shoulder that acted like you knee. It could only extend in one direction.
What are the Different types of refuse?
Refuse is a general term applied to solid and semi-solid waste materials other than human excreta. Waste material in refuse may be divided into:
a. Garbage - left-over vegetable, animal and fish material from kitchen and food establishments. These materials have a tendency to decay giving off foul odors. They also serve as food for flies and rats.
b. Rubbish - Waste materials such as bottle, broken glasses, tin cans, waste papers, discarded porcelain wares, pieces of metal, and other wrapping materials.
c. Ashes - Left over from burning of wood and coal. Ashes may become a nuisance because of the dust associated with them.
d. Dead Animals - Dead dogs, cats, rats, pigs, chicken usually run over by vehicles on streets and public highways. They also include small and other large animals that died from diseases.
e. Stable manure - Animal manure from stables.
f. Street sweeping - dust, manure, leaves, cigarette butts, waste papers, and other materials that are swept from streets,
g. Night Soils - Human waste normally wrapped and thrown into sidewalks and streets. This also includes human wastes from the pail system of toilets.
h. Yard cuttings - leaves, branches, grass and other similar materials produced during cleaning of gardens and also after storms.
The amount of refuse produced is affected by many factors such as climate, season of the year, industries present, economics condition of the family, and geographical location of the community.
Is Jeff hardy in the hospital?
No, he might return in No Way Out 2010 and win the Elimination Chamber or he will return at Wrestlemania 26 , win The Money in the Bank ,and cash it in on the champion who has the WWE or World Heavyweight championship at the Wrestlemania 26
A Better Answer:
Yes, he needed a break to heal his injuries and to pursue other hobbies, dreams and crap. But, it doesnt look like he will be back anytime soon because he was just arrested last week for several drug possessions.
Why do astronauts go into hospital when the get back?
Prolonged weightlessness weakens the body. The post-mission physical determines if there are any problems that need to be monitored or addressed.
Subjective symptoms are symptoms that are imprecise in measurement. They cannot be objectively observed. For instance: How much does it hurt? "A lot!" That is subjective because "a lot!" to one person can mean something very different depending on who is experiencing and reporting the pain.
In contrast, objective signs are measurable and consistent from one person to another. For instance, if one reports a lesion that is 3mm x 4mm and raised, indurated (hard), inflamed (red), and issuing a milky discharge, another person can observe those same exact signs.
