while denying regular medical and dental care. Upon physical examination, the nurse notes a
soft systolic murmur and small painful nodules on the pads of his fingers. Based upon these
physical examination findings, the physician thinks that the patient may have infective
endocarditis and prescribes antibiotics.
a. What should the nurse ensure happens before the antibiotics are
given?​

How do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water.
