A mother brings in her unimmunized, otherwise healthy, 7-year-old daughter to the pediatric office where you are the charge nurse. She tells you the girl had her school concert about two weeks ago and had been totally fine. The child has nearly 100 lesions all over her body, mainly localized to her trunk. Most of the lesions are vesicular, but a few have scabbed over. According to the mother, her daughter broke out in this rash about 5 days ago. She never experienced a fever, but the rash seems to be incurably itchy. As the mother is telling you this, you see her daughter itch open one of the vesicles, revealing a clear fluid.  1. Based on the patient’s symptoms, you suspect that she will be diagnosed with Smallpox, Shingles, Chickenpox, OR Measles? Explain your reasoning. 2. The mother demands antibiotics to treat her daughter’s infection. Do you prescribe antibiotics or not. Explain your reasoning, including known treatments for the disease you selected in question 1.  3. While you are explaining the treatment process to the mother, one of your nurses begins calling the state health department to report a suspected case of Smallpox infection. You stop her, citing that Smallpox has been eradicated since 1977 and has significantly different symptoms than what the little girl is exhibiting. If the little girl was showing signs of Smallpox, we would see a) what symptoms caused by b) what virus?  Make sure you answer ALL parts of each question to ensure you receive full credit for correct answers. 

A 58-yr-old patient has just returned to the nursing unit after an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). Which action by unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) requires that the nurse intervene?

KIN 6010 – Evidence Based Practice and Decision Making in Kinesiology   Please choose one of the research articles from the list below in the area of exercise science or sport performance and do the following: Frame an evidence based PICO question based on the assigned research article Critically appraise the research article using the PEDro scale Provide a synthesis and interpretation of the research article Make a recommendation to clinicians based on your findings   Article 1 Article 2

An older adult is expressing concerns about aging and becoming a burden on their family.  Which statement by the nurse is most therapeutic? 

Cases and interactive videos are two methods commonly used to develop:

Given that the default for E. coli’s lactose operon is to remain off, what needs to happen for it to be activated? A. A lactose molecule in the environment binds to an enzyme within the cell membrane B. The rate of glycolysis increases, giving E. coli the energy necessary to turn the lactose operon on C. A lactose molecule moves through the cell membrane using a pore and binds to a repressor protein on the operon’s DNA strand, causing the repressor protein to change shape and fall off D. An excess of galactose in the cell kickstarts the transcription process  

Which of the following are ways that eukaryotic cells can control the rate of translation? A. Modifying the ribosome binding site and using microRNAs to block translation B. Breaking down glucose and activating transcription factors C. Editing DNA sequences and splicing out introns D. Adding nucleotides to the mRNA and removing the operator

“Do you plan to retire in the next five years?,” asks the interviewer. It is legal to ask a candidate this question during a job interview.

A 100.0 kg box is pushed across a snow-covered floor at a constant speed of 2.0 m/s by a horizontal force 196 N. The box then enters a 1.0 m long rough section where the coefficient of kinetic friction increases to 0.40, while the same horizontal force continues to be applied. What is the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on the box while it moves over the rough section? Calculate the net work done on the box as it travels across the rough patch. Determine the speed of the box when it reaches the end of the rough surface.

KIN 6065 – Tactical Strength & Conditioning    Effective conditioning protocols are specific to the nature of sport and or tactical environment as well as the individual.  These concepts are paramount as scientists, coaches and athletes continue to identify and specify auxiliary elements necessary to optimize sport/tactical performance and mitigate injury.  Exercise prescription for sport conditioning must therefore be a meticulous, systematic process that accounts for various components of program development.   Your comprehensive exam questions center around a hypothetical physical-conditioning plan that incorporates the foremost variables of athletic preparation.    Pick a novel Sport or Tactical Occupation (one that you have not discussed previously) and explain the components of the following.  Make sure to include how they would guide your practice for that given population.  Make sure to include a divided collection of scientific articles and practical applications that serve to rationalize your answer.    Please explain the concept of “Needs Analysis” and explain how you will base your exercise prescription based upon the following factors: Biomechanical (Injury) Analysis of the Sport or Tactical Occupation Energy System Needs for the Sport or Tactical Occupation Testing
