Which are contraindications to the use of succinylcholine during general anesthesia? (Select 2)

Patient 3: You have an appointment with a returning patient that you originally treated for strep throat.  At the time of the original diagnosis you ran the proper diagnostic tests, confirmed the presence of the suspected pathogen and prescribed the patient antibiotics.  However their throat is still sore, their soft palate has red spots and their lymph nodes are swollen.  In addition, they now have a fever, a rash and are beginning to show signs of necrotizing fasciitis.  When you ask the patient about their antibiotic regimen they admit that they never got around to filling the prescription because they thought that strep throat was a relatively benign disease. This patient is infected with _____.  For full credit, write out the full name of the organism (genus and species).

Patient 2: HIV is a latent, single stranded RNA retrovirus that enters host cells through membrane fusion. Based on this description of an HIV virion and what you know about viral structures, which image best represents the virus?

This is a Huffman Tree. Huffman Trees are used to compress characters while transmitting text. Consider the word “BADADD”. There are two ways to represent and transmit this text. 1. Through assigning bit codes using the above tree. 2. Through assigning three bits to every character, ex. A=000, B=001, and G=110 What is the compression ratio for this text, “BADGAD” in this scenario? Hint: Compression Ratio= Total Data Transfer by Method 1/ Total Data Transfer by Method 2 This number is between 0 and 1. Enter the number rounded to two decimal places (e.g. 0.129 is entered as 0.13, 0.012 is entered as 0.01).

Patient 2: You are working with a patient infected with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).  This virus is especially devastating because it infects _____.  Choose all that apply.

Patient 1: You inform them that there are two options to test for this second potential infection.  One is a rapid test and the second is an indirect enzyme immunoassay. Compare and contrast these two tests to help your patient make an informed decision about which test would be best for them by answering the questions below. The rapid test detects [11a]. The indirect EIA detects [11b]. The rapid test is [11c]. The indirect EIA is [11d]. The rapid test [11e] indicate(s) a current infection. The indirect EIA [11f] indicate(s) a current infection. The rapid test [11g] be performed by themselves at home. The indirect EIA [11h] be performed by themselves at home.

Patient 1: Your patient is apprehensive about testing and asks you to describe one of the tests in more detail.  Choose EITHER the rapid test or the indirect EIA and describe how the test works on a molecular level by addressing the prompts below.  (If you do not remember either of these tests, identify a different diagnostic test and describe how it works on a molecular level.) What test are you describing? (one phrase max) Describe how the test works on a molecular level. (eight sentences max) Describe what a positive test result looks like (one sentence max) Describe what a negative test result looks like (one sentence max)

Patient 2:  Like all viruses it must go through the viral replication cycle in order to produce more viruses.  Put the steps of the viral replication cycle in order.
