This pedigree chart tracks Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) through several generations. DMD is an X-linked recessive trait. If individual II-3 has a child with a carrier woman, what is the percent chance that the child will be a daughter with DMD? Accessible Text Description of the Pedigree Diagram Generation I Generation I contains two individuals. Individual I-1 is an unshaded square. Individual I-2 is a shaded circle. I-1 and I-2 are connected by a horizontal line. A vertical line descends from their relationship line to a horizontal sibling line representing their offspring in Generation II. They have three children: II-2, II-3, and II-4. Generation II Individual II-2 is an unshaded circle. Individual II-3 is a shaded square. Individual II-4 is also a shaded square. Individual II-2 is connected by a horizontal line to individual II-1, an unshaded square. Their relationship line leads downward to three offspring in Generation III: III-1, III-2, and III-3. Individual II-4 is connected by a horizontal line to individual II-5, a shaded circle. Their relationship line leads downward to three offspring in Generation III: III-4, III-5, and III-6. Generation III The offspring of II-1 and II-2 are: III-1: an unshaded square III-2: an unshaded circle III-3: a shaded square The offspring of II-4 and II-5 are: III-4: a shaded square III-5: a shaded square III-6: a shaded circle

Based on the matching-law or behavioral-economic principles assessed in this assignment, describe one specific change you would make to Jonah’s program to increase academic responding. For full credit: Describe the specific program change. Accurately identify at least one relevant matching-law or behavioral-economic principle that it applies to (you have to tell me what principle you are discussing). Explain how the change applies that principle and why it is expected to increase Jonah’s academic responding. There is more than one appropriate answer. But please base your recommendation on the information provided in the case study ― do not assume any information that is not provided.

Let’s say you are trying to determine whether one of the parameters of the generalized matching law are influencing Jonah’s behavior and you want to start with bias.  Which assessment plan would provide the strongest evaluation of whether bias is influencing Jonah’s response allocation?    

The nurse is performing a physical assessment on a newborn. Based on the findings showed in the picture, what is the MOST appropriate action?

Immediately after the placenta is delivered, the nurse sees a large, red mass at the vaginal opening, the fundus cannot be felt, and the client has heavy bleeding. Which actions are appropriate? Select all that apply.

Which part of the case study most directly demonstrates choice as a behavioral process?

After both activities were placed on VI 3-min reinforcement schedules, the BCBA recorded Jonah’s responding (see case study table).  Complete the following calculations:  Jonah emitted total responses. Of those responses were allocated to academic responding and were allocated to peer interaction. 

A newborn is 1 hour old. The nurse notes continuous nasal flaring, respirations of 78/min, expiratory grunting, and intercostal retractions. What should the nurse do?

While evaluating the reflexes of a newborn, the nurse notes that with a loud noise the newborn symmetrically abducts and extends his arms, his fingers fan out and form a C with the thumb and forefinger, and he has a slight tremor. The nurse would document this finding as a which positive reflex?
