A 78-year-old woman presents for evaluation with a severe unilateral headache, jaw pain, and scalp tenderness. The patient states the headache is of a piercing quality; her jaw hurts only when she chews and feels better a few minutes after she stops chewing. Tenderness is present over the temporal artery on the same side as her headache, and prednisone is prescribed until the patient can see a specialist.  Which of the following reasons is the major justification for beginning treatment with corticosteroids in a patient with this condition?

A 68-year-old woman presents with malaise, severe unilateral headache, a decreased appetite, jaw pain and fatigue with chewing, and recent weight loss of approximately 10 pounds.  The patient reports one transient episode of right eye visual loss lasting less than 5 minutes earlier that day.  She currently has an oral temperature of 100.5°F, and there is tenderness on palpation of the right temporal area.  The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is 104 mm/hr (normal ESR female: 0 to 20 mm/hr).  Arrangements are made to obtain a temporal artery biopsy the following day.  Which of the following interventions is the most appropriate next step in the management of this patient?

A 68-year-old female with liver cancer, presents for evaluation of pain in her right knee.  She also has a PMH significant for osteoarthritis and recent GI bleed, and reports the knee pain has been increasing recently.  During an office visit two weeks ago, she was instructed to take Tylenol 500 mg po QID for pain relief.  Currently, she reports being in moderate constant pain, which is worsened with physical activities and interferes with her activities of daily living.  Which of the following medications is most appropriate for the management of the patient’s pain?

Concept Check: (WCSP25) a. The concentration of an aqueous solution when water is removed by evaporation.  b. A 2.0 M solution of calcium hypochlorite, Ca(ClO)2, has a M concentration of ClO- ions. c. Consider a chemical reaction in which strong bonds are formed and weak bonds are broken. The heat of the reaction is . d. A reducing agent electrons in a chemical process.  e. The limiting reactant is in a chemical reaction. f.  When 5.0 g of KClO4 was dissolved in a solution, the temperature of the solution decreased by 1.76  ̊C. The heat of solution (ΔHsoln) for KClO4 is . g. Select the salt that would form a precipitate when mixed with CuSO4:

In this part, you will write the implementation of the method below. Your implementation should be consistent with the class you’ve written in a prior step (i.e., only use the field(s) and method(s) that exist in the MyBookingScheduler class). You do not need to include any import statements or Javadoc comments in your response. T cancel(T booking) throws IllegalArgumentException, NoSuchElementException Removes and returns the booking in the system that is equal to the booking passed in. Remaining bookings should be shifted towards the beginning of the system. This method MUST use the cancel(int index) method to perform the removal! HINT: The implementation of this method is simple if you’ve implemented the cancel(int) and indexOf(T) methods. Think about how you can use these two methods to find and remove a booking that is equal to the argument (and throw the required exceptions, if necessary).  You can also rely on the propagation of exceptions, where appropriate. Method throws IllegalArgumentException when the reference passed in for the booking is null. The message should contain text describing the specific reason the argument is illegal. You may assume that IllegalArgumentException is an unchecked exception and has a constructor that takes in a single String parameter representing the message. Method throws NoSuchElementException when a booking equal to the argument doesn’t exist within the system. The message should contain text describing the specific reason the argument is illegal. You may assume that NoSuchElementException is an unchecked exception and has a constructor that takes in a single String parameter representing the message.
