A 55-year-old man presents with the sudden onset of flashes of light and a “curtain-like” shadow over his vision. Ophthalmic examination reveals a retinal tear with fluid accumulation beneath the retina. What is the most likely diagnosis?

Four hours after mechanical ventilation is initiated, a patient’s arterial blood gas (ABG) results include a pH of 7.51, PaO2 of 88 mm Hg, PaCO2 of 26 mm Hg, and HCO3− of 23 mEq/L (23 mmol/L). What change should the nurse anticipate to the ventilator settings to fix the acid-base imbalance?

An economist is studying the job market in area neighborhoods. Let x represent the total number of jobs in a given​ neighborhood, and let y represent the number of​ entry-level jobs in the same neighborhood. A sample of six neighborhoods gave the following information​ (units in hundreds of​ jobs). Data Table Total Jobs, x 17 31 51 29 49 25 Entry-level Jobs, y 2 2 6 5 9 4 Calculate the value of the correlation coefficient (round to three decimal places).      Is there a significant correlation between x and y? (yes or no)      Calculate the value of the coefficient of determination (round to three decimal places).      Find the equation of the least-squares regression line (round each coefficient to three decimal places).     y = + x Predict the number of entry-level jobs for a neighborhood with 4000 total jobs (round to the same number of decimal places as y).     

Let x represent per capita income in thousands of​ dollars, and let y represent the number of medical doctors per​ 10,000 residents. Six small cities gave the following information. Data Table Income, x 8.4 9.2 10.2 8.3 8.3 8.8 # Doctors, y 9.6 18.7 20.8 10.1 11.4 13.1 Calculate the value of the correlation coefficient (round to three decimal places).      Is there a significant correlation between x and y? (yes or no)      Calculate the value of the coefficient of determination (round to three decimal places).      Find the equation of the least-squares regression line (round each coefficient to three decimal places).     y = + x Predict the number of medical doctors per 10,000 residents for a small city that has a per capita income of 9.5 thousand dollars (round to the same number of decimal places as y).     

Radish flowers may be red, purple, or white. A cross between a red-flowered plant and a white-flowered plant yields all-purple offspring. The flower color trait in radishes is an example of which of the following inheritance patterns?  

Which of the following pairs of processes make the greatest contribution to genetic diversity between generations of a diploid insect?  

Which of the following statements accurately describes the structure of a eukaryotic chromosome?  

What is the basis for the difference in how the leading and lagging strands of DNA molecules are synthesized?  

Marfan syndrome in humans is caused by an abnormality of the connective tissue protein fibrillin. Patients are usually very tall and thin, with long spindly fingers, curvature of the spine, sometimes weakened arterial walls, and sometimes eye problems, such as lens dislocation. Which of the following would you conclude about Marfan syndrome from this information?  

A sample of double-stranded DNA contains 42% cytosine. Approximately what percent of the nucleotides in this sample will be thymine?
