Read each question carefully. There is only one correct answer unless the stem of the question includes directions that state otherwise. There are 80 items on the exam. You have 120 minutes to complete the exam. There is no backtracking to complete a skipped question or to change an answer.

A nurse is preparing to start an IV infusion of lactated Ringer’s for a client who sustained a burn injury. The client is prescribed 5200 mL of fluid over the first 24 hr. How many mL/hr should the nurse set the pump to infuse for the first 8 hr? (Enter the number only in the blank. Round to the whole number.)

A nurse is preparing to administer furosemide 40 mg via IV bolus to a client. The amount available is furosemide 10 mg/1 mL. How many mL should the nurse administer per dose? (Enter the number only in the blank. Round to the whole number.)

If a pseudo-random number generator  (PRNG) has backward secrecy and if the additional entropy source is not compromised and changed continuously,  the PRNG should be completely predictable if the seed is known.

Proteins carry out a wide variety of cellular functions, including serving as enzymes, forming structural components of cells, transporting things within a cell, facilitating cell-cell recognition, receiving signals, and transporting things across membranes. Because of this, protein synthesis is very important in cells. What structure in a cell is responsible for synthesizing the primary structure of a protein?

As their name implies, polygenic traits are controlled by multiple genes.  Assuming that the genes are not linked, genes involved in polygenic traits ____________.

A large group of plants are growing in slightly basic (pH 8) soil. When they flower, their flowers are orange. Over time, the soil becomes acidic as a result of acid rain, lowering the soil pH to 6. In pH 6 soil, the same plants produce yellow flowers. What is the most likely reason for this?

Which of the following is NOT a key step involved in the risk management process?

As their name implies, polygenic traits are controlled by multiple genes.  Assuming that the genes are not linked, genes involved in polygenic traits ____________.
