Please refer to the scenario above. The ion that is moving is a positive ion with a charge of +2. This is a hypothetical neuron. Which of the membrane potentials BEST characterizes this neuron at rest ( answer should be in capital letters only and no period)  

You are given an unknown alien axon for research with somewhat similar action potential mechanism as mammalian neurons. You have found the following concentration of ions: Na+ inside = 40 Mm Na+ outside = 4000 Mm Threshold= -20 mV Resting Membrane Potential -40 mV What would most LIKELY be the membrane potential at the peak (Or overshoot) for this alien axon among these set of potential values? Choose the best answer.

Most neurons of all organisms tend to have more __________________ in the inside than the outside of the cell.

At least 75% of clients need two or more antihypertensive agents to reach their blood pressure goal. In choosing combination therapy for a client with stage 2 hypertension (HTN) (SBP greater than 160 and or DBP greater than 100) in a 59-year-old male with a past medical history of uncontrolled essential HTN, DM, SOB, DOE, stage 1 diastolic heart failure, with an EF of 55% and a serum creatinine of 0.4, what would the best initial combination treatment include?

SJ is a 17-year-old white female with a 3-day history of dyspnea, fever, and frequent cough with a past medical history of asthma. Her cough has been ongoing for 1 week and she has been medicating with dextromethorphan HBr (30 mg/10 mL) once a day. The over the counter cough medicine helped for only the first few days. After assessment at the clinic, it is determined that SJ is wheezing and has community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), which requires an antibiotic for treatment. SJ has no drug allergies and is currently on no other medications or supplements. Which regimen should the APRN recommend for SJ’s cough/wheezing?

VT is a 55-year-old white male with a history of hypertension. He is currently taking hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg daily and amlodipine 5 mg daily. The current lipid panel shows that this patient’s total cholesterol is 200 mg/dL and his HDL is 40 mg/dL. VT does not drink alcohol and smokes 2 packs of cigarettes per day. Research states this patient needs moderate to high intensity statin therapy. Which medication and dose does this include?
