Ethnography is concerned with sampling a population with strict inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Which of the following would not be a correct consideration in data analysis when using graphs for single-subject studies?

Which of the following is not a method for increasing survey response rates?

Historically, the most common method of collecting survey data was through mailed questionnaires.

Which quality assurance measures are specific to qualitative data analysis that go beyond those implemented for data collection?

Which of the following is not one of the aspects of human experience that are explored through phenomenological study?

Use the pull-down menus to insert the best terminology that makes the following sentences true: There are many different kinds of medications that can be prescribed to treat hypertension.  For example, [blank1] work specifically at the heart, decrease the contractile force produced by that organ, and ultimately decrease blood pressure by lowering [blank2].  Alternatively, [blank3] target the kidneys, increase urine production, and ultimately decrease blood pressure by lowering [blank4].

Wade and his wife have been diligently following the CDC’s “social distancing” recommendations during the COVID-19 pandemic.  But … at this point, they are climbing the walls, are sick and tired of their kids always complaining about being SOOOOO BORED, and they desperately need some exercise.  So, they decide to go for a brisk walk in their neighborhood, which is nestled in the hills just west of Atascadero.  As they begin their walk, their blood pressure is too low to support their elevated level of activity, especially as they start to follow their street up a steep, nearby hill.   In the space provided below, describe the steps of the negative feedback loop that Wade’s body will use to solve this problem and return him to homeostasis.  Make sure you focus on how the majority of his arterioles must change to solve this problem. You may list the generic steps and give a brief description, like this: 1) Stimulus – type your description 2) Sensor – type your description etc., etc., until you arrive at the desired Response Make sure to list all the generic steps of a feedback loop for this class AND describe the specific physiological details for each of those steps EXACTLY as if you were drawing a feedback loop diagram.  Provide as much physiological detail as possible at each step (e.g., effector cells, receptor types, signal molecules, the step-by-step “action” that fixes the problem, etc.).

Lily is a pro at social distancing and a pretty-darned good amateur mixologist as well.  She mixes up her favorite cocktail and decides to enjoy it on her balcony, since it is a B-E-A-utiful summer evening on the Central Coast.  By about mid-cocktail … OH NO … a huge bee begins to dive bomb her and she is terrified, because she is highly allergic to bee stings.  She runs back into her house and slams the patio door shut just in time to keep the bee out.  Her heart is pounding in her chest and her blood pressure is greatly elevated.  However, now that she is safe inside, cocktail still in hand, she is safe to rest and resume happy hour. In the space provided below, describe the steps of the negative feedback loop that her body will use to solve this problem and return her blood pressure to homeostatic levels.  Make sure you focus on how her heart rate must change to solve this problem. You may list the generic steps and give a brief description, like this: 1) Stimulus – type your description 2) Sensor – type your description etc., etc., until you arrive at the desired Response Make sure to list all the generic steps of a feedback loop for this class AND describe the specific physiological details for each of those steps EXACTLY as if you were drawing a feedback loop diagram.  Provide as much physiological detail as possible at each step (e.g., effector cells, receptor types, signal molecules, the step-by-step “action” that fixes the problem, etc.).

Use the pull-down menus to insert the best vocabulary words into he blanks that make the following sentences true: During the inflammatory response, some immune cells will release [blank1] when stimulated by a pathogen, which dilates nearby blood vessels.  This increases perfusion to the infected tissue, which allows more filtration and phagocytes to enter the infected area by a process called [blank2]. As those phagocytes begin to destroy the pathogen, they will release [blank3], which helps to activate other parts of the inflammatory response (e.g., complement proteins).  These phagocytes also often release [blank4] which can reset the temperature set-point in the hypothalamus to a higher value.
