Pepito is trying to isolate a very rare bacteria (Coronacation indefinitus) for research purposes. The prevalence of the bacteria is roughly 1 in 10,000 bacteria. If Pepito performs a serial dilution, which test tubes in the dilution gradient are most likely to contain the bacteria of interest?

The nurse cares for a client diagnosed with myocardial infarction (MI). The right atrial pressure (RAP/CVP) is 5 mm Hg, the pulmonary artery wedge (PAWP) pressure is 20 mm Hg. The client reports shorness of breath. Oxygen saturation is 91% on room air and inspiratory crackles are auscultated bilaterally. Blood pressure is 190/110 mm Hg. Heart rate is 124.
