Describe the most common process/pathway by which an amino acid based hormone would increase the metabolic activity of its target cell.  Be sure to identify your second messenger and all other important molecules.

EHR Continued: Nursing 2/28 1415 Nursing Note: Client arrived from community clinic to adjoining community hospital. Client states she is feeling crampy, feels like she is still “wet down there,” and thought it was from having sex last night. States she was not expecting to have to stay at a hospital and is very scared to deliver early since she has no car seat or baby supplies yet. Discussed plan of care. Placed on EFM. FHR 142 beats per minute. Assessment completed. Sterile vaginal exam performed, client is 2 cm dilated, 25% effaced, and -3 station.

True or false: Experts argue adding a “call to action” to the end of your social media post will predominately create a negative reaction.

True or false: Social media is already perceived as informal, less regulated by the “the rules” of more formal writing. Thus, as a writer of social media posts, you should certainly keep this in mind.

What would be a scenario in which tracking eye muscle movements (just like we did in lab) would not be a useful tool? SATA (select all that apply). 

Consider the following tibial nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test results below. A unique feature of distal limb motor neurons is that the axons taper abruptly in the lower extremities. What is the best explanation for why these average NCVs are decreasing with increasing height? Height (in) Mean NCV (m/s) < 5’3” 51 5’3” – 5’7” 49 > 5’7” 47  

You are evoking muscle twitches by stimulation in your physiology lab. You begin to see muscle contractions and successfully are able to evoke a twitch with each stimulation. Next, you increase the stimulation frequency to a more moderate level (3-5 Hz) and you now begin to see  [answer1] occurring in your recording. Seeing this means that [answer2].

Ultimately, we found no difference between nerve conduction velocity (NCV) and hand dominance from the class data. What is the BEST explanation for this?

In a clinical setting, a physician conducts a nerve conduction velocity test to examine a patient’s medial nerve. What answer would support a positive diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome? 

Here is a typical action potential from a neuron that you are recording in lab:    Your lab partner applies a drug to that neuron. According to the label, it completely blocks all functions for one specific protein, but the label is damaged and doesn’t say which protein. The next action potential you record looks like this: Which of the following proteins has been targeted by the drug?
