what is the path to becoming a nutritionist?

Accepted Answer

Nutritionist: Check out what your state requires:  a license  versus certification. These may require a bachelor’s degree  with a specific major, practice under supervision  and you may need to pass an examination.

Question 6

describe the path blood travels through your body?

Accepted Answer

Path: If we start at the heart- blood travels thru arteries to all your organs. There the arteries become smaller and change into capillaries where oxygen is delivered and waste products from the cells removed. The capillaries then turn into veins which return the blood to the heart. There is a separate similar system from the heart to the lungs and back that brings oxygen into the body for distribution.

Question 7

what is the best path to follow to become a registered nurse?

Accepted Answer

Probably school.: There are many nursing schools in the country that offer courses and on site training to become a nurse.  They would also be the most familiar with the requirements for registration.

Question 8

path report says: lymphangioma. are these results very serious?

Accepted Answer

Generally Not: Lymphangiomas are malformations of lymphatic tissue and manifest differently at different ages and anatomic sites.  These may be treated surgically or by injection of sclerosing agents.  You should discuss the matter with your doctor as the report needs to be interpreted in light of other clinical factors.

Question 9

think i might be on the path to alcholism. how can i stop myself?

Accepted Answer

Get help: Very few people can stop on their own. Our brains require the fellowship of others to overcome this otherwise-unmanageable problem. A visit to aa's or a related group is in order. Be brave and if you decide that you are indeed moving toward alcoholism, take the first step, for your own sake and the sake of those who love you.

Question 10
