It is evident that van Gogh made use of the __________ technique (using paint straight from the tube, building it up in thick layers) in many of his paintings, such as Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear, 1889.

Oral glucocorticoids are used short-term, __________ to ___________ days following an acute asthma exacerbation.

Montelukast (Singulair) is prescribed for a client with bronchial asthma.  Which laboratory test does the nurse expect to be prescribed before the administration of this medication?

(15 pts.)  Two very large parallel plates measuring 2.0 m x 2.0 m are separated by a d = 0.0040m gap.  A power source with potential difference of 180 V is connected across the plates. a)  Find the capacitance of the parallel plates. b)  Find the magnitude of the Electric field between the plates? c)  A disk with a radius of 0.50 m is placed between the plates, such that its area is parallel to the plates (shown with separation d exaggerated.)  Find the total flux through the area of the disk.

(5 pts) Spheres A, B, and C are initially neutral.  Then +19μC of charge is transferred from sphere A to sphere B, and –6μC of charge is transferred from sphere A to sphere C.  After the transfers, how many excess electrons does sphere A have?  (Numerical answer.)

Three charges are placed at the corners of an equilateral triangle.  Given Q = 20 μC, d = 0.40 m.  Find the potential, V, half way between the lower charges (at point P).  (Assume V = 0 at r = ∞).

A proton and an alpha particle at rest 3.0nm apart.  The proton is held in place, while the alpha particle is released from rest.  How fast is the alpha particle moving when it is very far away from the proton?  ( qp = e, mp is given on equation sheet.  qalpha = 2e,  malpha = 4mp..)  (Numerical answer, include units.)

(Optional survey question) What is one topic you’re glad you learned about in nutrition that you’ll take with you into clinical work? What nutrition topic did you find the most boring (needs to be spiced up somehow)?

If you forgot to show your blank pages and equation sheet during the room scan, do it now.  Remember to show your work to the webcam just before you exit this test. For the charge distribution shown.  Given Q = 12 μC, and a = 0.40 m, find the net force on charge q­2 due to the other charges.  (Numerical solution.  Remember vectors have direction.) 

Using the table below, a researcher determines that Florida has a higher death rate than Alaska. What is a problem with this interpretation? Crude and Age-Adjusted Mortality Rates for Alaska and Florida, 2012 State Number of Deaths Crude Death Rate* Age-Adjusted Death Rate* Alaska 3,997 543.7 724.4 Florida 181,112 926.3 663.4 *Deaths per 100,000 population
