The nurse is caring for a patient whose ABG results reveal the following: pH 7.56, PaCO2 32 mm Hg, HCO3 42 mEq/L, PaO2 90 mm Hg. Which condition will the nurse expect to see in the patient’s chart as the underlying cause of these results?

A viral infection that might cause obstruction of the upper airway in a child is called:

Which of the following would the paramedic be LEAST likely to ask the EMT to do?

Drowning is most accurately defined as:

A transverse wave has the displacement y(x, t) = (3.5 mm) sin[(2.0 m−1)x−wt] . If its speed is 15 m/s, what is the period of the wave (in seconds)?

A rock is thrown horizontally off a cliff that is H= 23 m high. The rock strikes the ground at an angle of 46 degrees. With what initial speed (in m/s) was the rock thrown? Assume that the air resistance is negligible.

Consider the two disks A and C connected by a belt B that does not slip, shown in the image below. The two disks are made of different materials such that they have the same mass but , with rA = 5 cm. The angular speed of wheel A is increased from rest at a constant rate

A water pipe having a 2.5 cm inside diameter carries water into the basement of a house at a speed of 0.90 m/s. The pipe tapers to 1.2 cm and rises to the second floor 7.9 m above the input point. If the water on the second floor has a pressure of 50 kPa, what is the water pressure at the basement (in kPa)?

A water pipe having a 2.5 cm inside diameter carries water into the basement of a house at a speed of 0.90 m/s and a pressure of 150 kPa. If the pipe tapers to 1.2 cm and rises to the second floor 8.2 m above the input point, what is the water pressure at the second floor (in kPa)?
