The purpose of the pediatric assessment triangle (PAT) is to: Select one: a. gather critical data by performing a rapid hands-on assessment of the child. b. determine if the child's vital signs are within the age-appropriate limits. c. facilitate a rapid head-to-toe assessment of the child by visualization only. d. allow you to rapidly and visually form a general impression of the child.

d. allow you to rapidly and visually form a general impression of the child.

Explanation:

A pediatric assessment triangle is a swift analysis tool that shows the child's clinical status, and directs the healthcare workers to the management style appropriate for that specific child.The components of a PAT are:

D.  allow you to rapidly and visually form a general impression of the child

Explanation:

Pediatrc assessment triangle , PAT can be explained or described as a rapid evaluation tool that is used to establish a child clinical status, and the group , stage or category of his/her illness, in order to direct initial management priorities.

It should be understood that, the pediatric assessment triangle has been proven to be effective in the general impression of the health status of the child, because it alerts the clinician on how critical ill or injured the child might be.

It should be noted also that, it has three sides or areas of assessment, these include

correct answer: biotic and abiotic limitations

carrying capacity is determined by the limiting factors, which are known to affect the natural resources available. it may include water, nutrients, minerals, space, light etc.

hope this ! have a wonderful day!

answer: - few nutrients

high pressure

low temperatures

explanation: 1. few nutrients:   open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.2. high pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.3. ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface. 4. varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.5. low temperatures:   the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°c to an average of 17°c
