Calculate the equilibrium number of vacancies in the cubic meter of Cu at 1200 ̊C. The vacancy formation energy is 0.9 eV/atom and there are 8 x 1028 atomic sites in 1 m3 of Cu.

Coco is quiet and depressed but purrs as you begin your physical examination. The pertinent physical findings are as follows: ◼ Body temperature of 97.5° F ◼ Heart rate of 260 beats per minute ◼ Poor pulse quality ◼ Pale, dry mucous membranes ◼ Normal respiratory effort ◼ No abnormal lung sounds noted ◼ Prolonged capillary refill time ◼ Body condition score of 4/9 ◼ Prolonged response to the “skin pinch” test ◼ Cool extremities ◼ Severe halitosis ◼ Poor dentition ◼ Vomit stains under chin and sternum ◼ Oral ulcerations along gingiva 2. Which of these physical findings suggest poor perfusion? Why? 3. Which physical findings suggest dehydration?

As you are changing Louie’s bandage to inspect the catheter and catheter site, you also assess the area for phlebitis. 10. Define phlebitis.   11. What are the signs of phlebitis?

In your own words, describe and explain what it means when an animal is presenting white mucous membranes ? (2.5) What is it indicative of or what can be the cause of this? (2.5pts)  

1. After completing the triage examination, what should you do next? (Choose the correct response.)

You discover and fix the cause of Louie’s catheter malfunction, confirm he does not have phlebitis, and rebandage his catheter. After 7 days of intensive nursing care, Louie is finally ready to go home! Louie has been prescribed two oral antibiotic pills he will need to take for the next 2 weeks. 12. Explain to Mrs. Hansen how to administer an oral tablet to Louie using common language.

The thoracocentesis was successful, with 70 mL of fluid drained from the left side and 130 mL drained from the right side. The fluid sample is packaged and awaiting courier pickup from the lab. Louie’s breathing has returned to normal, and his mucous membranes are returning to a healthy pink color. He appears to be comfortable in his oxygen cage. However, even though he appears stable at the moment, you know his status can change quickly if he develops any complications following the procedure or if the fluid builds back up in the pleural space. 7. What should you monitor in your patient to assess his respiratory function?

You walk into the room and the cat is in its carrier. You peak and see thats hackles are up, pupils are dilated, tail is flicking, but it is also purring.  All these things are indication of what? (2.5pts) What should your next step be? (2.5pts)

While you are cleaning the ears, Mrs. Rossitano asks you if Thomas is going to be better now or if this is going to be an ongoing problem. You know that you have seen many ear infections especially in dogs with ears like Thomas’ and that many of these are recurrent. What information should you tell Mrs. Rossitano? 

Mrs. Rossitano shows you Thomas’ ears. You smell a slightly yeasty odor and notice that the ears are reddened, moist and seems somewhat painful. You can see abrasions on the pinna and around the ear. Miss Rossitano then asks you what is wrong with Thomas. This appears to you to be a classic otitis externa with a yeast infection, which you have seen in many dogs, especially those with floppy ears. How would you answer Mrs. Rossitano?
