REVERSE CASE STUDY : Home Care for the Elderly Client With Dementia

Primary Character: Scenario:

Instructions:

Home health nurse

The home health nurse is making a visit to a 72-year-old client with dementia who is being cared for at home by a 75-year-old spouse/family member. They live independently in a two-story home in a small suburban neighborhood. The home health nurse is doing an initial home health assessment.

Create a history of the problem that could lead to this scenario, including the experiences and actions of the primary character involved; a list of other persons/characters (nurses, staff, patients, etc.) involved, including their roles and previous actions that led to the scenario outcome(s); and future actions the primary character may take to address the situation, as well as evaluation criteria for determining the effectiveness of these actions. This information may be presented in a concept map or narrative form, or in any form of the student’s or group’s choosing. A concept map template has been provided below. A narrative template begins on the next page.

Why is it important to life that interactions be weak, noncovalent interactions?

1. Female mammals who are carriers of an X-linked recessive trait caused by a non-functional allele would express the encoded protein:

a. at the full amount in some cells, but express no protein in other cells

b that displays a novel function in the protein to produce a different dominant trait

c that displays dominance due to haploinsufficiency

d at 1/2 of the normal amount in each cell in a form of the mutant protein

e that would stop function in a dominant negative manner

2. You are following segregation of four genes in a cross – A, B, C, and D Dominant alleles are capital letters and recessive alleles are small case.

You take the cross - aa Bb cc Dd x Aa Bb CC Dd. What is the frequency expected among the progeny for the heterozygous genotype: Aa Bb Cc Dd?

A snapdragon plant has red, pink, or white flowers, inherited in an incomplete dominance pattern. It’s height is inherited in a dominant/recessive pattern. It can come in tall (T) or dwarf (homozygous recessive) varieties. What is the ratio expected if you cross a pink-tall (Tt) plant with a pink-short (tt) plant?

1. 1 red tall: 1 red dwarf: 2 pink tall : 2 pink dwarf : 1 white tall : 1 white dwarf
2. 1 red tall : 1 red dwarf : 1 pink tall : 1 pink dwarf : 1 white tall : 1 white dwarf
3. 3 red tall : 3 red dwarf : 1 white tall : 1 white dwarf
4. 2 red tall : 2 red dwarf : 1 pink tall : 1 pink dwarf : 1 white tall : 1 white dwarf
5. 2 red tall: 1 red dwarf : 1 pink tall : 1 pink dwarf : 2 white tall : 1 white dwarf

How does the origin story of the double helix differ between the "classic" story told by James Watson and that described in the video about Rosalind Franklin? Take a few moments to do some due diligence on James Watson (you can start here). When teaching and discussing science with students, should we separate the science from the person, or are the two inextricably linked?

the fact that mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own DNA that is genetically similar to prokaryotic DNA is supporting evidence for the ______theory.

A. Extrusive

B. Exosymbiotic

C. Evolution

D. Exogenous

E. endosymbiotic

Compare and contrast Chondrichthyes and Actinopterygii fishes. Make a table to compare. Think about physical (anatomical) and ecological/behavioral differences.

connexons/gap junctions are involved in ____

- synaptic

- direct contact

- paracrine

- endocrine

“There must be a God said the goldfish, otherwise who changes the water!”  Write a one page reflection on the point behind this remark, based on your thinking about the cosmological argument.  One page response.  

You want to study how a spinach sucrose transporter is regulated during plant development. Propose one experiments that seek to understand one regulatory mechanism that might be involved. Made sure to include the following: what your experiment seeks to specifically understand? What are your controls and why each is needed? And, what are your expected results?

Translocation is the collective movement of the mRNA and tRNA during translation. These steps occur in the following order:

Match each of the following terms to its definition.
