For a segment that grows positively, If a VA’s offset is within bounds then the PA is the segment’s base + the offset.

A workload of 5  jobs is being scheduled on a single-cpu system with a timeslice of 1 second.  The jobs do not perform any IO, just compute.  The jobs’ arrival times and lengths are shown in the table below.  If the scheduler has a choice the job that arrives earlier is selected.  If there still is a choice the job that comes first alphabetically is selected.

The nurse is caring for a patient with a potassium level = 6.2. Based on knowledge of electrolyte imbalances and the related physiologic effects, the nurses’ greatest concern regarding this result is which of the following?

In this same system, a particular VA has an offset of 8KB and the segment for this VA is one that grows negatively.  What is the negative offset?

Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is best defined as:  

The nurse is aware that certain groups of persons are at higher risk for fluid imbalance? These groups include which of the following?  (Select all that apply.)

A patient is diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and increased pulmonary vascular resistance. Related to the pathophysiology of this condition, which type of heart failure could result from this condition?

Boolean connectors are AND (expands the search) and OR (narrows the search). 

Define the following terms. Match each term to the correct definition:

A meteorologist reports that the probability that a particular hurricane will be at least at the Category 4 level when it hits the coast of Florida is 0.85.  If the hurricane is at least at the Category 4 level, there is a 0.95 probability that there will be a 10-foot storm surge.  If the hurricane is less than a Category 4 level, then there is a 0.10 probability that there will be a 10-foot storm surge.  Use the tree diagram below to find the probability of a 10-foot storm surge.  Round your answers to 3 decimal places.
