An experiment was conducted to determine whether a particular drug changes a person’s blood pressure. The scientists compare blood pressure across two groups of people: one group in which the participants take the drug and a control group in which the participants do not take the drug. When they compare these two groups using statistics, they should use statistics appropriate for [Menu1], and if they get a p value of 0.049 they will [Menu2]          

A patient was brought into the University Hospital Emergency Department due to an accident. When the patient has an MRI scan there are abnormal findings in the frontal lobe. The patient is experiencing confusion, slurred speech, and problems trying to make voluntary muscle movements. Complete the pathway to understand why this accident is affecting motor function. Damage in the [1] interferes with signals to the [2] that innervate the [3] and ultimately the [4], affecting voluntary muscle responses. [Drop down menu options]

In real life, the eye movements we studied in lab often work together seamlessly to provide a smooth and uninterrupted visual experience. This integration allows humans to efficiently navigate and interact with their environment, ensuring that we can respond appropriately to both static and dynamic elements around us. Label each of the following scenarios with the correct eye movement.    You are reading a book and then look up to watch a bird in the sky is an example of [1vergence]    You are reading a sign is an example of [2saccades]    You are watching cars as they race by at a track is and example of [3pursuit]    You are playing soccer and your eyes are keeping a stable view of the moving ball and other players, even as they make quick, abrupt head movements is an example of [4VOR]    You are scanning a crowd to find a friend is an example of [5saccades]    You shift your focus between the far road ahead and your car’s dashboard is an example of [6vergence]    You are walking while texting on your smartphone, even as your head moves with your gait, you can still read and type this is an example of [7VOR]    You stabilize your visual field as your head moves with the motion of the car is an example of [8VOR]     

A 46 year old patient has a deciduous mandibular left canine. Her dentition is would be classified as ______________ dentition.

When conducting a t-test against two groups of data, you set your significance level to 0.05, you receive a p value of 0.12. What does this mean for your analysis? 

You have just discovered an unusual new species that has neurons with a resting membrane potential of +50 mV! It seems to accomplish this with only Na+/K+ pumps, Na+ Leak channels and K+ Leak channels in the cell membrane. The ion concentrations inside and outside of the cell are at typical values for a mammalian neuron. Which of these could explain the positive resting membrane potential? 

A patient who is hemorrhaging has pale mucous membranes, blood pressure 92/52 mm Hg, pulse 160 beats/minute, and respirations 30/minute. The patient is receiving IV fluids at 150 mL/hour, has a blood transfusion infusing, and is being provided oxygen via a mask. What should the nurse recognize as the most likely cause of the patient’s respiratory rate?

Ultimately, we found no difference between nerve conduction velocity (NCV) and hand dominance from the class data. What is the BEST explanation for this?

The nurse is assessing an older adult. The nurse would expect to classify the patient in which Erikson’s stage of development?

A nerve conduction velocity (NCV) study is performed by researchers studying Charcot-Marie-Tooth syndrome in mice. Below are the results from one animal. The short distance measured for the study is 34 mm and the long distance is 67 mm. The average conduction time for the short distance was 0.5 ms and the average long distance conduction time was 1.2 ms. What is the nerve conduction velocity (NCV) for this data?
