Dust in the beds and in the flour bin, on dishes and walls and windows, in hair and eyes and ears and teeth and throats, to say nothing of the heaped up accumulation on floors and window sills after one of the bad days.” Caroline Henderson, Letters from the Dust Bowl.  Which of the following was one of the causes of the Dust Bowl? 

Which of the following amendments states,  “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.”

If two capacitors are in series, is their equivalent capacitance lower, or higher, than the individual capacitances?

A uniform magnetic field of 0.60 T is directed to the left, and an electron moves up with a speed of 2.5×106 m/s. The electron has a charge of -1.602×10-19 C, and a mass of 9.11×10-31 kg. What’s the force applied to the electron by the magnetic field? What’s the acceleration of the electron? If the electron continues to act under the influence of this electric field, what will be the radius of its circular path?

Two 2.0 meter long wires carry electric currents as shown. What’s the force vector applied to the left wire? What’s the force vector applied to the right wire?

For the system shown below: If the mass were pulled back and released, what would be its period of oscillation? If the mass were hung from the ceiling by the spring, how much would the spring stretch from its resting length?

If two resistors are in series, is their equivalent resistance lower, or higher, than the individual resistances?

Scenario: A 21-year-old female, G2P1, at 35 weeks gestation, presents to the labor and delivery unit reporting sudden onset of severe abdominal pain and continuous, dark red vaginal bleeding. She states she was involved in a minor motor vehicle accident two hours prior. The client is crying out  with abdominal pain.  Maternal vital signs are blood pressure 90/56, heart rate 110 bpm, respirations 24.  Client’s pulse oximetry 90% on room air. Fetal heart rate on the monitor is showing decelerations down to the 60’s after the peak of 2 consecutive contractions and returns to baseline of 140’s.  The client is rushed to an emergency c-section. Rank the following nursing diagnoses from highest (1) to lowest (4).  (Select All That Apply)

The nurse is caring for a client who is admitted for pre-eclampsia and is on Magnesium Sulfate therapy for treatment.  Upon assessment select which of the following findings would indicate improvement in the client’s condition Patient: 32 years old, G1P0 (first pregnancy, no live births) Presenting Symptoms: Severe headache Visual disturbances (blurred vision) Upper abdominal pain Edema (swelling) in hands and face Shortness of breath Date Temp HR RR BP SpO2 Urine Dipstick findings  12/10/XX  98.6 F (37.0C)  100 bpm  20 bpm  152/95  99% 3+                 LAB RESULTS Date Lab Result  12/10/XX  Urine protein  3+   CBC  Normal  Liver enzymes Elevated Creatinine Elevated       Physical Examination: Hyperreflexia: Present ( +3) Edema: Present in hands, face, and legs Decreased urine output
