The answer is the third one: carotid massage.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Hypovolemia: This condition involves a decreased volume of blood in the body, which can lead to sinus tachycardia as the heart compensates by increasing the heart rate to maintain adequate blood flow and blood pressure.

  2. Pain: Pain can stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, leading to an increased heart rate, which is a characteristic of sinus tachycardia.

  3. Carotid massage: This is a technique used to stimulate the vagus nerve, which can actually slow down the heart rate. It is often used as a treatment for certain types of tachycardia, not a cause of it.

  4. Hypoxemia: Low levels of oxygen in the blood can cause the heart to beat faster to increase oxygen delivery to tissues, resulting in sinus tachycardia.

  5. Fever: An increase in body temperature can lead to an increased heart rate as the body works to dissipate heat, which can cause sinus tachycardia.

In summary, carotid massage is the exception as it is used to decrease heart rate, not increase it.

9. Write the balanced chemical equation for the equilibrium that is established when acetic acid is dissolved in water. Include the chemical formulas for all reactants and products, any stoichiometric coefficients and all physical states. Recall that when a substance is dissolved in water, the physical state in a chemical reaction is aqueous (aq). Solve here: CH3COOH(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ CH3COO^-(aq) + H3O^+(aq) 10. Based on the reaction in Question 9, write the expression for the equilibrium constant (Ka) of acetic acid.

Assume that when human resource managers are randomly selected, 45% say job applicants should follow up within two weeks. If 6 human resource managers are randomly selected, find the probability that exactly 3 of them say job applicants should follow up within two weeks. The probability is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
