At a recent PI team meeting, John reported on the data collection results following creation of the new registration process to reduce duplicate medical record creation. This data demonstrated that errors were occurring predominantly by the surgery scheduling team when receiving orders from outside physicians. After John’s report, the team brainstormed solutions on how to address further education for the scheduling team. Which step in Deming’s PDCA cycle is this an example of?

According to the Dean of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), throughout the test/exam you must show your Workspace area (face, hands, flat surface, and computer screen).   Please be honest, I will check each video:  In the Webcam view, do you see your face, hands, and flat surface?  If not, please make sure you show your Workspace view.    

What is the total number of gerbils on this exam and on the gift for this exam?

Research into a disease has identified a new target enzyme. By a stroke of luck, this enzyme possesses an allosteric site! However, the data you received from your technician is incomplete, but enough remains to calculate the key values and determine if this new drug candidate targets the allosteric site. (significant figures matter, remember all data have some amount of error.)   Here are the data: Control (without inhibitor) Vmax: XXXX [S] = 21.00 M          V = 157.0 units/second Km = 40.23 M   Experimental (with inhibitor) Vmax: 457.6 units/second [S] = 57.00 M         V = 215.00 units / second Km: XXXX ———————————————————————– Question 1: What is the Vmax of the control?   Question 2: What is the Km of the Experimental?   Question 3: What is the mode of inhibition?   Question 4: Given the data, is it likely this inhibitor binds in the allosteric site? If yes, how is that known? If no, how does it bind and how is that known?      

According to ACSM guidelines, a “low risk” individual must have no more than 2 risk factors. 

A 50 yo male who does not exercise and has no known disease or symptoms wants to  begin moderate intensity exercise. Does he need medical clearance according to ACSM guidelines? 

An exerciser suddenly develops shortness of breath at rest or with mild exertion. What is the immediate ACSM recommendation? 

Which threat to internal validity is specifically associated with the natural changes that occur in participants over time, such as growth in children? 

A researcher conducts a fitness study over a school year looking at changes in strength, but some participants also join organized sports teams during the same time.  Which threat to internal validity does this represent? 

From Extract 3 pp10-12   My own opinion is well known:The ruler who fears the consequencesOf his actions, or who is afraid to act openly,Or take the good advice of his senators,Is beneath contempt. Equally contemptibleIs the man who puts the interests of his friends,Or his relations, before his country.There is nothing good can be said of him.Let me make it plain, before the gods,Whose eyes are in every council chamber,When I see any threat to this nation,From whatever direction, I shall make it public. No one who is an enemy of the StateShall ever be any friend of mine.The State, the Fatherland, is everythingTo us, the ship we all sail in.If she sinks, we all drown,And friendship drowns with us. … His brother Polynices, who returned hereAt the head of a foreign army, to destroyHis homeland, to burn down the cityAnd reduce the people to a condition of slavery,Or kill them in the streets – I have orderedThat he is to have no grave at all.No one is to bury him, or mourn for him.His body is to be left in the open, uncovered,A stinking feast for the scavengers,Dogs and crows, a sight to inspire terror.
