Which of the following strategies will help patient education for patients who have hearing impairments?

  We discussed how our cells have repair mechanisms to fix mistakes made during DNA synthesis (replication).  However, not all errors are caught and/or corrected.  Which of the following is a reason that the low error rate of DNA replication is important to evolution (= biological change thru time)?  

Why is it not possible to have a dosing interval greater than the taomax during an intermittent dosing regimen?

The total body clearance (CL) of amikacin is 6 L/hr and its apparent volume of distribution (V) is 20 liters. If you want to target a peak level of 20 mcg/ml at steady state and the trough level cannot fall below 5 mcg/ml what i.v. dosing regimen would you suggest?  Use the peak approach and choose the largest dosing interval from the following (every 4, 6, 8, 12, or 24 hours). The drug is administered parenterally.

The half-life of drug X is 3.5 hours. If the drug is infused at a rate of 50 mg/hr

During an intermittent dosing regimen, once steady-state has been achieved:

  CH13 vocabulary (part 1)… match the term to the correct definition (hint: copied directly from quizlets!)  

  We talked about what signals both the beginning and end of translation.  Translation termination occurs when a ribosome interacts with which of the following structures that signals the end of translation?  

BONUS #1 This is a throwback to last block that does overlap with this block… get your Punnett on!  A man with normal vision who is a dwarf due to achondroplasia has children with a woman who is colorblind and of average height. Dwarfism caused by achondroplasia is autosomal dominant, and red-green color blindness is X-linked recessive.   What proportion of their sons are expected to be color blind and of normal height?
