A 12-year-old patient diagnosed with bronchiectasis is receiving postural drainage and percussion to drain the basal segments of the right lung. While draining with the head of the bed down 30 degrees, the patient begins to exhibit signs of distress including frequent PVCs and a decrease in oxygen saturation. After discontinuing the therapy, the respiratory therapist should recommend A. Provide percussion with the bed flat B. Provide percussion with the head of bed up in semi-fowlers positi...

activation energy - atomic number - the number of protons in the nucleus average bond enthalpy - the energy required to break one mole of a certain type of bond in the gaseous state averaged across a variety of compounds

2 Requirements for Evolution - 1) A source of variation between individuals of one species (can be from mutations, crossing over, & independant assortment during cell division). 2) A change in the frequency of the genes in a gene pool of a population (due to natural selection). Adaptive Radiation - The condition in which homologous structures are differentiated to perform a variety of different functions. - As speciation occurs, a particular structure may change to become adapted to a speci...

Can an individual evolve? - No. Define acquired vs heritable traits. - Acquired traits are ones that occur during a species' lifetime, ex. a broken bone or an ear piercing; heritable traits are ones that pass from parent to offspring. Describe the characteristics of amphibians. - Soft moist skin, simple lungs, four limbs when adult, external fertilization, larval stage in water and adult stage on land, eggs coated in protective jelly, do not maintain constant body temp. Describe the chara...

adaptations - characteristics that make an individual suited to its environment and way of life... can be: Structural: Physical differences in biological structure Behavioural: Differences in patterns of activity Physiological: Variations in detection and response by vital organs Biochemical: Differences in molecular composition of cells and enzyme functions Developmental: Variable changes that occur across the life span of an organism adaptive radiation - the rapid evolutionary diversifi...

Define continuous variation - The variation in phenotypic traits, such as body weight or height, in which a series of types are distributed on a continuum rather than grouped into discrete categories. Define Evolution (Heritable, cumulative, population) - The process of cumulative change in heritable characteristics of a population -Heritable: Changes must be passed on genetically from one generation to the next -Cumulative: Stresses fact that 1 change not enough to have a major impact on a...

Adaptive Radiation (divergent evolution) - Multiple species off of original species Certain members of the species exploit a different niche of their ecosystem Alexander flemming - Scientist was first to notice mold and noticed that all bacteria around the mold was dead. This lead to massive production of pennisullin Allele Frequencies - Measure of the proportion of a specific variation of a gene in a population Analogous structure: - structures may have same function but different internal...

allopatric speciation - (geographic speciation) speciation that occurs when biological populations of the same species become isolated from each other to the extend that prevents genetic interchange. Angiosperm characteristics - -drier terrestrial -vascular -sexual reproduction: separate; flowers specialized structure for sexual reproduction. fruit: seeds within mature ovum Artificial classification - an arrangement based on superficial characters, and not expressing the true natural rel...

A fasciotomy cut is - much deeper into the tissue. it cuts into the fascia of the muscle. Active immunity - takes 2-4 weeks to develop own immunity through antibody development After 48 hours, the client will begin to diurese. Why? - because fluid is going back into the vascular space; now we have to worry about fluid volume excess urine output will now increase Albumin ALERT: if FVE occurs, what will happen to the cardiac output? - it will decrease Albumin ALERT: If you stress the heart t...

A clients serum potassium level is 5.8, where is most of the potassium found? - inside the cell A light gauze dressing may or may not be.... - applied to cover the burn area After a burn why does plasma seep out into the tissue? - Increased capillary permeability (leaking) Antimicrobial ointments can provide: - -antibacterial coverage -promote a moist wound Are amputations common with electrical burns? - -YES d/t poor circulation -bc the circulatory system is destroyed (without adequate ci...

After 48 hours, the patient will begin to diurese because fluid is going back into the vascular space. Now what should you worry about? - - Fluid volume excess Do you think a patient with burns need more or less calories? - - More Electrical burns have two wounds. What are they? - - Entrance wound and exit wound How do you apply topical agents to a burn? - - Apply a thin layer using sterile gloves - Aseptic technique - Apply light gauze dressing to cover area How do you calculate the amou...

Age of viability (25-38 weeks) - Fetus has a chance for survival outside the womb apgar scale - appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, respiration Apgar scores - 7-10 healthiest; 4-6 need assistance with breathing or other visual signs; 0-3 need serious emergency medical attention Effect of Illegal drugs on fetus - Low birth weight, numerous defects, death.
