Give two examples of similarities between land plants and brown algae. These can be similar features in structure and/or function. 

Some of the organisms observed in lab on Thursday, such as euglenids, might have looked similar to other unicellular photosynthetic life we have previously observed, such as cyanobacteria. Which of the following features would not be shared by both cyanobacteria and euglenids? Select as many as are applicable. 

As you surveyed the brown algae (kelp) samples of Lab 14, you might have noted similarities between the differentiated external body plan and tissue layers of brown algae and the tissues and organs of complex land plants. 

An alert and distressed 72-year-old male patient with a history of pulmonary edema from heart failure is in severe respiratory distress, breathing 28 to 32 times per minute. His airway is patent, respirations are labored, crackles are heard in the bases of the lungs, and skin is found to be diaphoretic with a rapid radial pulse. Other vital signs are pulse, 136; blood pressure, 202/110 mmHg; and SpO2, 83%. Cyanosis is evident in the fingertips. The best treatment for this patient’s breathing difficulty would be:

Your medical director is providing a review of diabetic emergencies and asks you to describe glucose. Which of these statements would be your most appropriate response?

A 71-year-old male patient with a cardiac history and lower abdominal and back pain has called 911 for help. On scene, you detect a large pulsatile mass in his abdomen. With the exception of skin that is diaphoretic, the primary assessment indicates no life threats to the airway, breathing, or circulation. The patient has a history of hypertension, high cholesterol, and diabetes, and is allergic to sulfa-based medications. Vital signs are pulse, 92/min; respirations, 20 breaths/min; blood pressure, 130/66 mmHg; and SpO2, 95% on room air. Which of these statements made by the patient would make you intervene immediately?

Altered mental status resulting from a hypoglycemic episode in a patient with diabetes typically:

When administering oral glucose to a patient with diabetes, the EMT must take precautions to prevent which adverse effect?

Which of these patients is most likely to suffer a silent MI?

Which individual finding would most lead the EMT to suspect that a patient has hypoglycemia?
