The nurse analyzes the lab values for a child with leukemia who is receiving chemotherapy. The nurse notes that the platelet count is 19,500/mm3 (19.5). On the basis of this lab value, which intervention should the nurse include in the plan of care?

What are two problems with the Deficit Model of Science Communication: A) It assumes that the public lacks scientific knowledge, ignoring people’s understanding of relevant scientific issues. B) It assumes that people just need to be given scientific facts in order to improve their engagement with science. C) It assumes that people need to be engaged in substantive decision-making about science, but that process is too time consuming. D) It assumes that science communicators should treat the public like scientists when they are not.

Imagine you’re in your car, which is equipped with a convex spherical side mirror. The mirror has a radius of curvature of 72 cm. As you’re parked, you notice a Cybertruck parked 5 meters behind you. This Cybertruck’s image height in the mirror is 1.1 cm. How tall is the Cybertruck? 

According to the Engagement Model of science communication:

The word “uncertainty” can be confusing when communicating science because:

Which of the following descriptions below would correctly identify the following?     0         B −1

The image below contains an inductor of inductance L (Henries) and a time-varying current from a power supply flowing from A to B. (a) At what rate would the current through the inductor have to change to induce a positive emf of V (volts) in the inductor? Use the variables given in the problem to write your answer. Include the correct sign. (b) what direction would that induced current flow (A to B or B to A) and why?  Write your answers to (a) and (b) in the text box and include a one-sentence explanation of your part (b) answer to receive full credit.
