A patient who has recurrent, frequent genital herpes outbreaks asks about therapy to minimize the episodes. What will the provider recommend as first-line treatment?

The provider is prescribing 5% permethrin cream for an adolescent patient who has scabies. What will the provider include in education for this patient?

A patient with severe, recalcitrant psoriasis has tried topical medications, intralesional steroid injections, and phototherapy with ultraviolet B light without consistent improvement in symptoms. What is the next step in treating this patient?

Swept wings reduce the onset of shock waves by breaking down the total velocity over the wing into two components: chordwise flow and [blank1] flow

The expression for rate of climb is 

As temperature decreases, the speed of sound

Making the wing longer and more slender (achieving a higher aspect ratio) weakens the tip vortices, creating less drag and reducing aircraft fuel consumption. 

In order for an plane to achieve maximum climb rate, what is needed?

The true measure of aerodynamic efficiency is

Given: A Citation jet is cruising at a velocity of 492-mph (1-mph = 1.47-ft/sec) at an altitude of 33,000-ft, where the ambient air density is 7.9656X10-4 slugs/ft3.  The aircraft weight and wing planform areas are 15,000-lbs and 342.6-ft2 , respectively. The drag coefficient at cruise is 0.015. Calculate the lift coefficient (two decimal points) [blank1] and the lift-to-drag ratio (nearest whole number) [blank2]
