A patient has been experiencing ongoing pain and stiffness for several months after an injury, with limited functional activity. There are no signs of active inflammation, but the range of motion is still restricted due to scar tissue. What stage of tissue healing is this patient likely in?

A patient in the maturation phase has a scar that continues to contract, limiting their ROM. Which of the following interventions is most appropriate?

A physical therapist assistant is developing an exercise plan for a patient in the maturation phase who has scar tissue that is 16 weeks old. Which of the following is the most important consideration when applying mechanical stress to the scar tissue?

15. Hydrogen gas is the product of the following reaction. (WCSP[x]) ____Mg(s)   + ___ HCl(aq)   

Shown below is the structure of ibuprofen, a pain reliever sold under the brand name Advil. (WCSP24) a.  What are the orbitals that overlap to form the bond labeled A? [drop1] b. What is the molecular geometry of the atom labeled B? [drop2] c. What is the bond angle about the angle labeled C? [drop3]

(WCSP24)  Shown below are five curves that represent the distribution of molecular speeds of five different gases at the same temperature and pressure, each in a separate 10 L container. The gases are H2, CH4, He, SF6, and N2. Complete the statements so that they are true.   a. The gas represented by [drop1] has the largest fraction of molecules traveling at the most probable speed. b. Curve [drop2] corresponds to N2. c.  All of the gases represented have the same [drop3]. d.  Gas [drop4] has the greatest density. e.  Decreasing the speed of the molecules will [drop5] the pressure.

(WCSP24)  The cross sections of three different ionic compounds (labeled Compound 1, 2 and 3) are displayed in the figures below. In the figures, the charge on each ion is indicated, and the diameter of each circle reflects the diameter of each ion.    Rank these compounds in order of increasing melting point. lowest [drop1] < [drop2] < [drop3] highest
