Calculate the thermal resistance for heat conduction through a cylindrical wall (inner radius = 0.03 m, outer radius = 0.05 m, k = 30 W/m·K) per unit length (i.e., length of 1 m):

A spherical thermocouple (radius of 3 mm, thermal conductivity of 20 W/mK, specific heat of 400 J/KgK, density of 8500 kg/m3) with initial temperature 20°C is suddenly exposed to air at 90°C (h = 200 W/m²·K). The Biot number is:

A metal pipe with internal diameter of 1 cm is 2 m long and is electrically heated to increase water temperature from 20°C to 40°C before a shower faucet. For a typical shower water mass flow rate of 0.06 kg/s (about 1 gpm), what is the required heat flux that needs to be imposed on the pipe to heat the water? The specific heat of water is 4200 J/kg°C.

A patient with chronic back pain reports taking acetaminophen 4 to 5 grams per day. Which adverse effect will you include in your patient teaching due to the amount of acetaminophen this patient is taking?

Follow rounding rules and correctly label your answer.Order: amoxicillin 500mg PO b.i.d.Available: How many mL will you administer per dose?

A nurse is evaluating the effectiveness of interventions for a patient with opioid-induced constipation. Which finding best indicates that the patient is achieving the expected outcome?

A nurse is caring for a patient who has been on bed rest due to impaired physical mobility. Which of the following complications will the nurse monitor for in this patient? (Select all that apply).

A nurse has worked in the intensive care unit (ICU) for over 20 years. When caring for complex patients, she instinctively recognizes subtle changes in patient status without relying heavily on rules or guidelines. She often mentors newer nurses, offering insight based on years of pattern recognition and deep clinical understanding.
