An 8 yo child who has been diagnosed with asthma for several years has been using a short-acting B2-agonist (SABA) to control symptoms. The nurse practitioner learns that the child has recently begun using the SABA two or three times each week to treat wheezing and shortness of breath. The child currently has clear breath sounds and an FEV1 of 75% of personal best. What will the nurse practitioner do next?

An infant presents with a new grade IV/VI systolic ejection murmur. Chest x-ray reveals a boot shaped heart. What is the most likely diagnosis?

This is a file upload question. Please hand-write your solution in a piece of paper, take a picture and upload your file (or send me through Canvas Inbox or at haruko.muratainouye@chaffey.edu). Typed answers will not be accepted!   Suppose that you sell ice-cream and the demand curve that you face in this market is shown in the graph below: Note that: P1 = $10 P2 = $8 Q1 = 150 Q2 = 200 Now answer the following: Calculate the price elasticity of demand (PED) for points A and B using the midpoint method learned in class. Is the demand elastic or inelastic? Justify your answer! Calculate the Total Revenue (TR) for points A and B.  Given this demand curve, what you should do to increase your Total Revenue? Increase or decrease the price of the ice-cream? Explain!

The Hard Incompatibilist claims that we always do that which we most want to do. At first, it seems like this claim would be easy to refute with counterexamples:  I could choose an orange or a slice of cake for dessert. I want the cake more, but I choose the orange instead.  What would the Hard Incompatibilist say in response to this apparent counterexample?

 point for providing factual information about the required case (including background and ruling) and 1 point  for explaining why the differing facts of Engel v. Vitale and the Rosenberger case as described in the scenario could justify a different constitutional result. Such factual differences include that the  religious speech or prayer was compelled in Engel but voluntary in Rosenberger, that the government was specifically endorsing the religious message in Engel but not in Rosenberger that the school-age children in Engel were more impressionable than the college students in Rosenberger the university in Rosenberger presumably paid for other, nonreligious publications. 

Genetic compensation has been shown to occur in the presence of an early stop codon, but not when an entire coding region is deleted, nor if translation of the gene transcript is blocked. Name and describe the process that is triggered by an early stop-containing mRNA that is associated with a compensatory response. [Answers should be fewer than ~20 words, >30 words results in -0.5.]

Explain your answer to the previous question.  

Consider the figure and assumptions in the image for the ARQ Problem. Also assume: Use t_frame = 3 microseconds and assume that User A and User B have agreed to use the Wmax you wrote in a previous question. For the description below, sketch the timing of the events on your handwritten sheet. Description: Show the pattern and timing of the link activity  from the time the first packet/frame is sent (t=0) up to 27μseconds. Show frame transmissions, acknowledgements, etc. with proper labels and numbering (frame #’s, User A, User B, ACk#’s(RRA# or RRB#). Round off times to the nearest integer microsecond. Answer format: Your sketch should be uploaded with your handwritten work.
