Gram Negative Coccobacilli _____________ causes pneumonia, epiglottitis, and otitis media in children. This Gram Negative Coccobacilli bacteria is the most important causing respiratory infections. It is noncapsulated; therefore most infections occur with an impaired host.

There are two main groups of bacteria: Gram Positive and Gram Negative. Which of the following defines the difference between Gram Positive and Gram Negative?

Which of the following best describes the function of genes?

If a pressure tank is 100% full then the analog signal on a gauge reads 20psi.  If the tank is 0% full then the analog signal reads 2psi.  Assuming that the gauge psi scales linearly, how full is the tank if the gauge is signaling [a]psi?  Give your answer to the nearest whole percent.

Nasopharyngeal cultures are useful in identifying what two Gram Negative bacteria?          I.     Haemophilus influenzea          II.    Bordatella Pertussis          III.   Staphlococcus aureus          IV.   Neisseria Meningitidis

When disinfecting instruments for use, you would do all of the following EXCEPT:

use the formula n = p + h – f, where n is the desired nozzle pressure in psi, p is the engine (pump) pressure in psi, h is the head gain or loss in psi, and f is the friction loss in psi.  For h, use a positive value of 0.5psi/foot if the head is adding pressure to the hose (nozzle downhill from pump) or a negative 0.5psi/foot if the head is subtracting pressure from the hose (nozzle uphill from pump). For f, use 5psi for the friction loss generated by each fitting in the line. A progressive, 6 length hose lay has five fittings connecting the hoses together.  The nozzle outlet is [h] feet below the engine.  If the desired nozzle pressure is [n], at what pressure does the engine need to perform?    

The surgeon’s preference card calls for 250mg of Ancef. The vial you have is labeled “1 g/2cc.” How much would you draw up?

Which of the following examples indicates a situation where the researcher is most likely to have a possible bias regarding his/her work?

A drug commonly used to reduce vascular spasms during vascular surgery is:
