The nurse just received report from the previous shift. In preparing to round on each of his four assigned patients, he knows he should plan to see the patient with the most concerning status first. Place the patients in order with most urgent to least urgent. 

The nurse is programming the pump for the patient’s dobutamine IV infusion. The order states to begin the infusion at the following dose: 0.5 mcg/kg/min. The patient weight is 85.6 kilograms. What dose of dobutamine per minute should the nurse administer to start (in mcg)? (Round answer to the nearest tenths place. Numeric answer only, do not include “mcg” in answer)

The patient begins to have increased work of breathing, decreased mental status (increased confusion and agitation), and her blood pressure is 72/46 wiht a HR 0f 143. Her saturation has dropped to 72% on the NRB mask at 15L of oxygen. The nurse calls for Rapid Response and the Provider to come to the bedside emergently. Given the significant changes noted in the patient assessment, what condition is the priority concern for the nurse now?  

A student collected data and used it to create a frequency distribution table. Select the frequency table below that shows the correct RELATIVE FREQUENCY column. (Note that the classes and the raw frequency columns are the same for all three tables.) TABLE A Class Frequency Relative Frequency 0-99 15 0.10 100-199 30 0.12  200-299 50 0.25 300-399 30 0.35 400-499 25 0.24    TABLE B Class Frequency Relative Frequency 0-99 15 0.10 100-199 30 0.20  200-299 50 0.3333  300-399 30 0.20  400-499 25 0.1666    TABLE C Class Frequency Relative Frequency 0-99 15 0.08 100-199 30  0.16 200-299 50  0.36 300-399 30  0.30 400-499 25  0.10

Information for questions 10-13 The world is made of five countries, A, B, C, D and E. There are no transportation costs among these countries, just (possibly) tariffs. Countries A and B are considering forming a Regional Trade Agreement (RTA). If they do so, then they will have no tariffs against each other’s goods, but will keep their tariffs against countries C, D, and E. The following table lists the costs of production per barrel of oil in the five countries. Also shown are country A’s tariffs imposed on imports of oil from other countries, before and after any RTA is formed. Costs of Production and Tariffs Country Cost of production ($/barrel of oil) A’s tariff ($/barrel of oil) before RTA A’s tariff ($/barrel of oil) after RTA Country A 52.50 — — Country B 36.00 5.50 0 Country C 30.50 5.50 5.50 Country D 31.10 4.90 4.90 Country E 35.30 4.90 4.90 After forming an RTA with country B, country A would import oil from:

Information for questions 14-20 The world is made of two countries, Uplands and Lowlands. Labor is the only factor of production, and Uplands has 500 hours of labor available to be employed, while Lowlands has 200 hours of labor available to be employed. There are two goods, raincoats and shirts. The following table shows the output of each good per hour of labor, in the two countries. Output of each good per hour of labor  Good Uplands Lowlands Raincoats 2 4 Shirts 8 24 Now suppose that the two countries completely specialize in the good they have comparative advantage in (they only produce that good). What is the actual number of shirts that the world made of these two countries will produce? Enter a whole or decimal number, as appropriate. Enter 0 if the answer cannot be obtained with the information given. Only exact answer accepted.

Information for questions 20-24 The figure below depicts the production possibilities curve (PPC) of a country. It also depicts the consumption possibilities curve (CPC) when the country is engaged in trade with one other country. Point C is this country’s consumption when that trade occurs. Considering both this country and the other country, this country has absolute advantage in:
