A client with a C6 SCI should be able to:

Note: If you have been given prior permission to take the exam remotely (illness, etc), don’t forget that you need to scan your room and show both sides of any scratch paper you have with you! Is the US income distribution getting wider? (1 point) Support your argument making reference to data seen in class; explain how those data are measured and how that measure of the income distribution is calculated. (1 point) Now present data that support a different point of view and explain what it is that is different about those data from the measure. Why do you prefer your measure to this second one? Based on the data seen in class, do you think that it is getting easier or harder to move up in the income distribution than it used to be? (1 point) Support your argument making reference to data seen in class; explain both how those data are measured and how that measure of mobility is calculated. (1 point) Now present data that support a different point of view and explain what it is that is different about those data from the measure. Why do you prefer your measure to this second one? Raj Chetty et al show that relocation can often improve the odds of upward mobility. (1 point) What is one locational factor (social capital) that Chetty et al show impacts economic mobility? What factors do they control for to establish this correlation? (1 point) What is a second locational factor (social capital) that Chetty et al show impacts economic mobility? What factors do they control for to establish this correlation?

An electrochemical cell is constructed based on the oxidation of cadmium (Cd) metal and the reduction of lead (Pb2+) ions.  Solutions of 1.00 M cadmium nitrate and lead nitrate were used to construct the electrochemical cell.  If the measured voltage in the cell is positive where is the cadmium ion located?

Which imaging agent is best for determining cardiac sarcoidosis?

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.
