“In the class videos, what analogy did I give to describe the function of the bulborethral gland on it making mucus for the urethra just before a male experiences orgasm? It acts like a ____.” [BLANK-1]

Multiple treatment interference may exist between interventions implemented within a short time period, but they should only be addressed if it results in a negative effect. 

This figure is an example of a Simultaneous Treatment Design, a design where the participant is presented with two or more treatments simultaneously.

Patient GO (male, 33 years old, height 180 cm, weight 80 kg) has presented to Accident and Emergency following a paracetamol overdose. He has been started on an acetylcysteine infusion and has begun to feel unwell; he complains of difficulty breathing and he has developed a wheeze. Which management option would be the MOST APPROPRIATE for Patient GO?

Patient LO (female, 25 years old, weight 63 kg) is 30 weeks pregnant. She attends a clinic for her whooping cough vaccination. Soon afterwards she begins to feel unwell. She feels flushed, dizzy and like her ‘heart is racing’. The nurse notices that her lips are swelling, and an urticarial rash has appeared on her arms. What is the MOST APPROPRIATE initial action to take?

Patient KJ (male, 55 years old, weight 77 kg) is admitted to hospital following an episode of haematemesis. Past medical history: Musculoskeletal back pain related to his occupation as a lorry driver Medication history: sometimes takes co-codamol for back pain which he buys from the pharmacy Allergy to penicillin – throat swelling Following endoscopy, a diagnosis of major peptic ulcer bleeding is made. The ulcer is treated endoscopically and a test for H. pylori is POSITIVE. Which treatment plan is MOST APPROPRIATE?

Patient YP (female, 75 years old, weight 68 kg) has type 1 diabetes mellitus and mild dementia. She was discharged from hospital three days ago following treatment of a urinary tract infection. She lives alone and usually has district nurses administering insulin. Upon investigation it is revealed that they were not informed of Patient YP’s discharge and therefore have not been visiting to administer her insulin. Today she is readmitted to hospital as her son has found her to be unwell. She is drowsy, more confused than usual, vomiting and her breath has a smell of ketones. She is diagnosed as having diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Which treatment should be started in the FIRST instance?

Patient RC (female, 37 years old, weight 56 kg) has been diagnosed with a moderate asthma attack. Her regular medications are: Fostair NEXThaler® 100/6 one inhalation twice daily and one inhalation as required, for relief of symptoms; maximum eight inhalations per day It is decided that Patient RC can be safely managed at home. With regards to the use of steroids in the management of Patient RC, which is CORRECT?

What is a possible advantage of a Multiple Probe Multiple Baseline Design?

The Car class is used to represent information about a car.  Car objects are created by calls to a constructor with two double parameters. The first parameter represents the maximum amount of fuel the car’s tank can hold.  The second parameter represents the average number of miles the car can travel per gallon of fuel.   The Car class contains a canMakeTrip method, which determines whether there is enough fuel in the car to make a trip. This method has a double parameter that represents the distance, in miles, of a potential trip. If there is enough fuel, the method updates the current amount of fuel in the car and returns true. If there is not enough fuel for the entire distance of the trip, the amount of fuel is unchanged and the method returns false.   The Car class also contains an addGas method, which has a double parameter that represents the amount of gas to add.  This method will add the value of the parameter to the tank until the tank is full.  It will not add more than the tank can hold.  Assume all parameters are positive.  The following table contains a sample code execution sequence and the corresponding results.    Statement Explanation boolean possible; declare a variable to store the result of canMakeTrip Car car1 = new Car(15.0, 30.0); car1 has can hold 15.0 gallons in tank. car1 can travel 30.0 miles per gallon. car1 holds 15.0 gallons to start. car1.getGallons();  return 15.0 possible = car1.canMakeTrip(120.0);  car1 needs 120.0/30.0 = 4.0 gallons. car1 has 15.0 gallons so it can make trip. updated value of gallons is 15.0 – 4.0 = 11.0 return true possible = carOne.canMakeTrip(600.0);  car1 needs 600.0/30.0 = 20.0 gallons car1 has 11.0 gallons so it cannot make trip. return false car1.addGas(100.0);  car1 has 11.0 gallons tank size is 15.0 gallons add 4.0 gallons updated value of gallons is 15.0 car1.getGallons();  return 15.0 possible = car1.canMakeTrip(150.0);  car1 needs 150.0 / 30.0 = 5.0 gallons car1 has 15.0 gallons so it can make trip updated value of gallons is 15.0 – 5.0 = 10.0  return true car1.addGas(2.0); car1 has 10.0 gallons tank size is 15.0 gallons updated value of gallons is 12.0 car1.getGallons();  return 12.0
