Document Summary

* the timing restrictions for the science topical tests are optional. If you are using this test for the sole purpose of content reinforcement, you may want to disregard the time limit. Directions: most of the questions in the following test are organized into groups, with a descriptive passage preceding each group of questions. Study the passage, then select the single best answer to each question in the group. Some of the questions are not based on a descriptive passage; you must also select the best answer to these questions. If you are unsure of the best answer, eliminate the choices that you know are incorrect, then select an answer from the choices that remain. Indicate your selection by blackening the corresponding circle on your answer sheet. A periodic table is provided below for your use with the questions. A 1008 g sample of water is heated to boiling. During the heating, 8 g of water is lost from vaporization.

A child has been born with symptoms of a genetic disorder. Two hypotheses, both involving newly arising mutations (i.e., the mutations are not present in either parent) have been proposed. The first is Charcot Marie-Tooth syndrome, resulting from a duplication of a portion of chromosome 17, dup(17)(p11.2 p12). The second is DiGeorge syndrome, resulting from a deletion of a portion of chromosome 22, del(22) (q11.2).

a. What test or tests would you do to determine which hypothesis is correct?

b. Briefly explain to the child’s parents (who are not scientists and who must give permission for any tests) why you want to do this test (or tests), and how this test (or tests) will allow a correct diagnosis.

c. What results of your test (or tests) would you expect if the second hypothesis is correct?

. Find a science news report, from either a science-specific or mainstream media news source. The report must present findings from an experimental study. After reading/watching/listening to the piece, summarize the content. In your summary:

• Cite the news source and provide a link to the story

• Summarize the report •

In a paragraph, evaluate the science and the accuracy of the science reporting. Use the chart provided in the assignment link to determine:

o Does the science appear to be well designed and executed?

o Statement supported (questions Science accurate?What is the basis for the story?What is the affiliation of the scientist?What is the funding source for the study?If the hypothesis test is a correlation?Was the sample of individuals in the experiment a good cross selection of the population?Was the data collected from a relatively large number of study subjects?Were participants blind to the group they belonged to and/or the “expected outcome” of the study?)

o Is the science reporting balanced and accurate?

o Statement supported (questions Were data collectors and/or analysts blinded to the group membership of participants in the study?Is the science reporting balanced and accurate?Did the news reporter put the study in the context of other research on the same subject?)

• What audience is this article addressed to – who would care about this topic? Why did this topic gain media attention? • Writing and grammar

Important Notes

• The news report must be insect related!

• The news report must present science! (A story about someone’s home being overrun by a pest insect species is not science.)

• The news report must be about an experimental study! (If in doubt, email me and ask!) • The news report must be from the last 12 months.

CASE STUDY SCENARIO

SJ is a 64-year-old, South East Asian male from the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) in Ontario, who comes to the Emergency Department with his wife of 22 years. SJ and his wife are South East Asians and live in GTA, Ontario. SJ has been complaining of nausea and vomiting over the last 2—3 days, and his wife states he seems confused at times. His blood sugar on arrival to the department read 19.6 mmol/L. The client has already been started on regular insulin (Humulin R) via SQ route, and he will be admitted for further investigation and diagnostic purpose.

This is a new diagnosis of diabetes for SJ, and he is very anxious. SJ is 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighs 171 pounds. He reports no form of regular exercise or special diet. SJ’s diet entails carbohydrate dense foods and high glycemic index beverages. For the past 4 months or more, his wife has noticed that her husband has been very thirsty, and goes to the bathroom every 30 minutes.

PART 1: Questions

1. Describe the following serum glucose tests used to help diagnose diabetes mellitus: fasting, postprandial, and oral glucose tolerance test.

2. Explain what a hemoglobin A1c lab test tells the health care team.

3. Taking SJ’s cultural background into consideration, explain what could have possibly contributed to SJ’s diagnosis? Which type of diabetes does SJ have? List all the criteria from the case study that would support his diagnosis.

4. please include references in APA styles.
