The OTR is working with a pediatric client with right-side weakness and dressing tasks. The unaffected upper extremity is able to assist with dressing, but the child is still working on increasing strength and coordination. The child has been working on independently zipping and unzipping his jacket. Which adaptation would BEST facilitate success in this task?

You are performing a lineage tracing experiment to test whether any liver cells can migrate away form the liver organ. You decide to implement a genetic lineage tracing strategy (outlined below) to track liver cells throughout the life of your study organism. You establish two separate transgenic lines Line 1 and Line 2. Line1 has a transgene that drives Cre recombinase under the control of a strong liver enhancer plus promoter. Line 2 features a transgene that drives a green fluorescent protein (GFP) with a stop codon followed by a red fluorescent protein (RFP) gene under the control of a housekeeping enhancer plus promoter. The GFP portion of this transgene (including the stop codon) is flanked by LoxP sites, which upon Cre exposure, cause removal of the GFP coding region and leave the RFP coding region in-frame.     Line 1: Line 2: Before we cross Line1 and Line2 together… we expect Line1 to demonstrate [blank1] fluorescence by itself. we expect Line2 to demonstrate [blank2] fluorescence by itself.    After crossing Line1 and Line2 together… we expect brain cells to demonstrate [blank3] fluorescence. we expect liver cells to demonstrate [blank4] fluorescence. if you find cells that demonstrate red fluorescence outside of the liver, this would [blank5] your hypothesis.  

A 47-year-old client with a C7 spinal cord injury has been released by the physician to enter the active phase of rehabilitation. The therapy teams have initiated a treatment plan to promote upright sitting tolerance in a wheelchair. The OTR and PT discuss methods for pressure relief to prevent decubitus ulcers. If the client demonstrates fair-plus muscle strength in the bilateral triceps, what is the BEST approach to pressure relief?

What is the maximum current flowing through the inverter? 

Solve the equation |2x – [a]| + [b] = [c].  Enter the sum of the two answers in the box below.

A bacteria population starts off with 5 bacteria cells.  If the population doubles every [a] hours, how large will the colony be after [d] days?  Give your answer in the box below to two decimal places.  Enter your answer below.

A projectile is fired from point 0 at the edge of a cliff, with initial velocity components of v0x = 60.0 m/s and v0y = 175 m/s, as shown in the figure. The projectile rises and then falls into the sea at point P. The time of flight of the projectile is 40.0 s, and it experiences no appreciable air resistance in flight. What is the height of the cliff? projectile from height.jpg

The figure shows the position of an object as a function of time.  During the time interval from time t= 0 s  and time t= 9 s (a) what is the length of the path the object followed? (b) what is the displacement of the object? distance and displacement.jpg

The nurse is caring for a patient who has experienced severe burn injuries involving 60% of the patient’s BSA and a circumferential burn of the right leg. Which of the following possible complications is the burn patient at risk for? Select all that apply.

Choose at least FOUR of the following questions to answer. In your responses, make sure you number your answer to correspond to the question number you are addressing. Killmonger and T’Challa represent two very different sides of the African diasporic experience (diaspora = the spreading out of a people from their homelands to other lands). Killmonger is a militant Black-power character who is characterized as the villain. T’Challa is an isolationist but superpowered politician who is characterized as the hero. Why do you think these two groups are at odds with one another ideologically? What common ground could they find? If Killmonger had used different tactics to achieve his goal of empowering (militarily) other African descendants around the world, would the movie have played out differently?
