Prior to getting out of bed, the nursing assistant has instructed the resident to dangle and not stand up too quickly.  What is the purpose of dangling? 

What should the first response of the nursing assistant be if a resident experiences a minor burn? 

Which of the following are “Ending Steps” after providing care for a resident? 

A resident with dementia is undressing themselves in the dining room.  How should the nursing assistant respond? 

The nursing assistant observes an area on the resident’s arm that is warm, red, and tender to touch. What is the appropriate response by the nursing assistant? 

Scenario 1 – “Muscle‑Twitch Mice” (10 Points) A colony of lab mice has begun displaying sudden, short bursts of running whenever a loud sound occurs. Researchers discover a dominant allele T that encodes a hyperactive epinephrine receptor in skeletal‑muscle cells.   Which change most directly explains the mice’s behavior? Hyper‑activity of this receptor would first increase the activity of which enzyme inside the muscle cell? To verify that the T allele produces a longer receptor protein, what step follows transcription of the T mRNA? If skeletal‑muscle cells alone express the epinephrine‑receptor gene, which explanation is most consistent? Researchers design primers flanking a 180 bp region that includes the T mutation. After PCR and agarose‑gel analysis they expect the mutant allele to show:

Scenario 4 – “The Silent Stem” (10 points) Botanists study a plant whose stem cells fail to divide unless exposed to light. Light activates transcription factor PHY‑A via a phosphorylation cascade. Adding a protein‑phosphatase inhibitor would likely PHY‑A target genes become euchromatic because If one target gene has two introns, its mature mRNA will be Scientists map a 3 kb PHY‑A enhancer using BamHI and HindIII. Restriction mapping is useful because it A partial Sanger chromatogram shows double peaks starting at one position. This likely indicates

If the heat produced by the reaction of combustion of 1 mole of ethanol (MMethanol= 46.07 g/mol) is 1366.8 kJ/mol, ((see the thermochemical equation below, the formula of ethanol is C2H6O), how much heat in kJ is produced by the combustion of 155 g of ethanol at the same conditions? C2H6O(g) + 3 O2(g)  → 2 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(g);       ∆H°rxn=−1366.8 kJ/mol
