_____ is the process of inspecting data that has been input to a program to make sure it is valid before it is used in a computation.

A patient presents to the ED after being found down, unwitnessed. You notice potential fractures, bruises and scrapes. VS: HR 54, BP 83/59, RR 12, temp 96.7. What are your priorities at this time? (Select all that apply).

Outliers are always discarded from the data set.

In the chapter section on acid/base properties of salt solutions, you learned that protonated forms of weak bases can act as weak acids.  Given that for ammonia, NH3, Kb = 1.8 x 10-5, calculate the pH of a 0.2 M solution of NH4Br. Hint: NH4Br dissociates 100% in water and acts as a weak acid (NH4+). This is therefore a weak acid pH calculation with given Kb instead of Ka. 

Proportions are used for categorical measures when defining a confidence interval.

The nurse practitioner is examining a 2-year-old child and auscultates a wide fixed split S. The child is thin and small and has a history of frequent URIs. What condition may this finding represent?

A 3 week old has a 2 day history of projectile vomiting, weight loss, and dehydration.  He has just vomited while in your office. What finding on exam would lead you to a diagnosis of pyloric stenosis?

Which of the following solutions will have the lowest pH? Hint: This is not a calculation problem. Consider the type of acid/ base (strong vs. weak acid and base).

A 7-year-old child who has a history of a repaired congenital heart defect (CHD) has many dental caries along with gingival erythema and irritation and a temperature of 102.5°F.  The child is noted to have a Janeway lesion on his hand. What will the nurse practitioner do next?

A toddler is seen in the clinic after a 2-day history of intermittent vomiting and diarrhea. An assessment reveals an irritable child with dry mucous membranes, 3-second capillary refill, 2- second recoil of skin, mild tachycardia and tachypnea, and cool hands and feet. The child has had two wet diapers in the past 24 hours. What will the nurse practitioner recommend?
