Discovered the “Amber Phenomenon.”

The scientist to propose this idea of positive and negative electrical charge was:

A device that hinders the motion of charge through a circuit is called a:

You have all the lamps in your house wired with a series circuit. What happens when one bulb burns out?

An instrument for determining the magnitude of a charge is the:

 A bird on a high-voltage wire is electrocuted when the potential difference is:

The first person to recognize the connection between electricity and magnetism was….

Question 44: The nurse is preparing a discharge plan for a client with chronic syndrome of inappropriate antidiuretic hormone.  The nurse would include which treatments in the plan to assist the client with self-management? (Select all that apply)

Question 33: A client who had a subtotal thyroidectomy earlier today develops laryngeal stridor and a cramp in the right hand returning to the surgical nursing unit. Which collaborative action will the nurse anticipate next?

Question 15: Mr. D, a 19-year-old college student has been brought to the emergency room by his roommate. Mr. D reports abdominal pain, polyuria, vomiting, and thirst. He appears flushed, and his lips and mucous membranes are dry and cracked. His skin turgor is greater than 3 seconds. He has deep, rapid respirations, and a fruity odor to his breath. He has a history of Type 1 diabetes. He states “I was cramming for finals and have missed a few doses of insulin”. He is alert but is having trouble focusing on the nurse’s questions. Mr. D’s vital signs and blood glucose are as follows: Blood glucose fingerstick level                       685 mg/dL Blood pressure                                                 100/60 mm/Hg Heart rate                                                          120 beats/min4 Respiratory Rate                                                32 breaths/min Temperature                                                       100.8o F (38.2o C) The arterial blood gas results for Mr. D are: pH                          7.25 PaO2                    97 mm/Hg PaCO2                 25 mm/Hg Bicarbonate      15 mEq/L The HCP ordered an insulin drip for Mr. D to begin at 0.1 units/kg/hr. Mr. D weigh 155 lbs. The pharmacy delivers a premixed bag of 100 units of regular insulin in 100 mL of normal saline. The nurse calculated the infusion pump setting as 10 mL/hr. (Round the weight calculation was to the nearest whole number). What should the charge nurse do to ensure safe administration of this medication?
