Place the following events of an action potential in the correct order. Na+ channels inactivate and voltage-gated (VG)K+ channels activate, allowing K+ to flow out of the axon, and repolarization begins. An unstimulated neuron has a negative resting membrane potential. The axolemma (the cell membrane of an axon) returns to resting membrane potential. VG Na+ channels open and Na+ enter the axon, causing a depolarization in this section of the axon. Local potentials accumulate to depolarize the membrane at the axon hillock.

The AGCNP received a patient in the ED complaining of chest pain 2 hours before admission to the ED. The patient was awake, alert, and oriented to time, person, place, and situation. The patient told the AGACNP that a permanent pacemaker was implanted two years ago. The patient stated, “I have a DDD pacemaker.” The AGACNP understands that this type of pacemaker does which of the following:

Four resistors are connected across an ideal dc battery with voltage V as shown in the figure. Assume that all quantities shown are accurate to two significant figures. If the total current through this circuit is I = 2.0 A, what is the current through the 4.0-Ω resistor?
