Which patient is most likely to present with a K+ value of 5.5 mmol/L and Na+ of 132 mmol/L?  

This is a 2 part question! Partial credit if formula/work is shown.  Use the following data to calculate and interpret the anion gap for this patient experiencing 2 days of acute, severe diarrhea Na+ 134mmol/L  K+ 2.9mmol/L   Cl- 108 mmol/L  HCO3- 16 mmol/L 

For the binomial distribution with the given values for n and p, state whether or not it is suitable to use the normal distribution as an approximation. n =25 and p = 0.7

Which of the following represent effects on a ABG sample from a patient breathing room air,  if the syringe is left capped at room air  for nearly 60 minutes at room temperature? pH PaCO2 PaO2 HCO3- Patient A 7.38 40 mmHg 85 mmHg 24 mEq/L Patient B 7.47 32 mmHg 90 mmHg 21 mEq/L Patient C 7.28 55 mmHg 80 mmHg 22 mEq/L Patient D 7.36 39 mmHg 92 mmHg 23mEq/L

The success of Mendel’s experiment for the study of inheritance can be attributed to the following reasons, except

The nurse is preparing to administer metoclopramide 0.4 mg/kg IV to a child who weights 44 lb. Available is metoclopramide 5mg/5mL. How many mL should the nurse administer? Round the answer to the nearest whole number.

Vitamin B12 is vital in the conversion pathway for these two amino acids:

What is the main function of Vitamin D?

You are doing lab work with a new species of beetle. You have isolated lines that breed true for either blue shells and long antenna, or green shells and short antenna. Crossing these lines yields F1 progeny with blue shells and long antennae. Crossing F1 progeny with beetles that have green shells and short antennae yields the following progeny:                                                                 Blue shell, long antenna                     82                                 Green shell, short antenna                 78                                 Blue shell, short antenna                    37                                 Green shell, long antenna                   43                                 Total                                                      240   A chi-square test is done to test for independent assortment. What is the resulting chi-square value and how many degrees (s) of freedom should be used in its interpretation?

In rabbits, an allelic series helps to determine coat color: C (full color), cch (chinchilla; gray color), ch (Himalayan; white with black extremities), and c (albino; all white). The C allele is dominant to all others, cch is dominant to ch and c, ch is dominant to c, and c is recessive to all the other alleles. This dominance hierarchy can be summarized as C > cch > ch > c. Indicate the phenotypic ratios expected if rabbits with the cross Cc ´ chc.
