Which of the following is not part of the cell theory?

Use this information for the next five questions:   Scientists hypothesize that in order for DNA replication to occur the gene for a protein called Rb must be inhibited. Thus, they predicted that cellular levels of this protein would decrease during the early part of replication.  A fluorescent antibody was prepared as an indicator to detect the level of Rb in cells.  The table below describes the various samples tested and the amount of fluorescence measured in each after incubation with the antibody. Fluorescence Intensity Group Condition mean standard deviation n A Cells in early G1 phase 27.3 4.8 9 B Cells in early S phase 17.5 5.6 9 C Cells in early G2 phase 29.8 4.1 9 D Cells injected with purified Rb 55.2 9.2 9  

A 3-year-old child was recently diagnosed with leukemia and has been treated with chemotherapy.  The child presents with lethargy and a high fever.  Heart rate is 195/min, respiratory rate is 36/min., blood pressure 85/40 mm Hg and the capillary refill time is less tha 2 seconds.  What is the child’s most likely condition?

A 8-year-old boy is agitated and leaning forward on the bed in obvious respiratory distress. The patient is speaking in short phrases and tells you that he has asthma but does not carry an inhaler. He has nasal flaring, severe suprasternal and intercostal retractions, and decreased air movement with prolonged expiratory time and wheezing. You administer 100% oxygen by a nonrebreathing mask. His SpO2 is 92%. Which medication do you prepare to give to this patient?

A 12-year-old suddenly collapses while playing sports.  He is unresponsive and not breathing.  Emergency response is activated.  The child has no pulse, and CPR is initiated.  An AED arrives.  What is the most appropriate next intervention?

Faden and Beauchamp suggest that there is more than one type of “informed consent”: sense1 and sense2.  Which of the following claims is not true of these senses of informed consent?

Which of the following is most likely to produce a prolonged expiratory phase and wheezing?

What abnormaality is most likely to be present in children with acute respiratory distress caused by lung tissue disease?

You are alone and witness a child suddenly collapse. There is no suspected head or neck injury. A colleague responded to your shout for help and is activating the emergency response system and is retrieving the resuscitation equipment, including a defibrillator. After delivering 30 compressions, what would be your next action?

Which of the following is not a condition of informed consent?
