For peasants, the majority of time was spent working the land and trying to grow enough food to survive another year. Church feasts marked sowing and reaping days and occasions when peasant and lord could rest from their labors. Each peasant family had its own strips of land; however, the peasants worked cooperatively on tasks such as plowing and haying. They were also expected to build roads, clear forests, and work on other tasks as determined by the lord.  The houses of medieval peasants were of poor quality. The floor was normally earthen, and there was very little ventilation and few sources of light in the form of windows. In addition to the humans, livestock animals would also reside in the house.  Your answer must be in your own words- do not use direct quotes.  Your answer must be a minimum of 100 words.  

Your patient meets the following criteria. What is this patient’s diagnosis?  Temp of 100.4HR >90RR >20WBC 12

A wire carries a current of 3 A along the x-axis from x = 0 cm to x = 4 cm.  Determine the magnitude of the magnetic field at point P, located at y = 3 cm on the y-axis.

You arrive at a residence to find an altered 35 y/o male.  His family indicates he was grilling for lunch when a large burst of flame came up and hit him.  He initially said he was fine, but now is not acting right. He has no history, no allergies, and no medications daily. He weighs approximately 180 lbs. His initial vitals show BP 160/90, SPO2 86%, HR 130 bpm, RR 26 and labored. He clearly has singed facial hair and burns to his face. 1. (2 points) While noticing his airway currently appears clear, he becomes unconscious and apneic. Lloyd notes a radial pulse present. What is your initial treatment plan and how should you position your patient for best airway support? 2. (1 point) Lloyd is actively ventilating your patient with a BVM attached to oxygen. You begin getting more information by attaching ETCO2 and you see this: What is happening here and how do you correct it? 3. (2 points) Despite applying high flow oxygen, the patient’s SPO2 continues to drop and Lloyd notes it’s become essentially impossible to ventilate the patient with the BVM now. You observe significant swelling in the hypopharynx.  Outline your treatment plan and procedures for this patient.
