A 24-year-old with diabetic ketoacidosis is admitted to the ED and his blood glucose on arrival was 780. He has been started on an insulin drip and has received one amp of bicarb. The nurse will be doing finger stick blood sugars every hour. ABG results are: pH= 7.31 PaCO2= 25 mm/Hg HCO3=12 mmol/l 1. The graduate nurse asks the preceptor to help with interpretation of the blood gases. How should the preceptor interpret these values and explain the reasons for the changes?

hat is Finance? What is the relationship between economics and finance? Who owns a corporation? What is the agency problem? What is the objective of a firm and its constraints? Who is controlling firms? What are Business Ethics? What is a financial market and what types of changes have financial markets experienced during the last three decades? Is our financial market an efficient one? What are the components of interest rates and how monetary policy can change them? What are the information that the shape of a yield curve can give to us?

Which one of the following statements is incorrect?
1) Scarcity is a universal phenomenon that arises because resources are limited
2) Microeconomics is the branch of economics which studies how individual decision-makers behave and interact with each other
3) Macroeconomics is the branch of economics which studies the functioning and performance of a society's economy as a whole (often with a focus on levels of and changes in aggregate measures such as the unemployment rate, inflation rate, and Gross Domestic Product growth rate).
4) Macroeconomics focuses on the individual unit (i.e., it examines the "trees")

b. Consider the current economic conditions in Australia, where (even though official data is not yet in) current output (real GDP) is currently below potential GDP.
(i) What type of fiscal policy has the government used to try and get Australia to potential GDP? Draw an AD-AS diagram to illustrate this situation (including the initial situation). Explain the figure in some detail. By this, we mean do not just explain the changes in the diagram, but also state what components of the AD and AS curves are changing (if any), and in which direction.

Consider a galvanic cell based on the following two half reactions at 298 K: SRP Fe3+ + e- Fe2+ 0.77 V Cu2+ + 2 e- Cu 0.34 V How many of the following changes will increase the potential of the cell? Why?
1. Increasing the concentration of Fe+3 ions
2. Increasing the concentration of Cu2+ ions
3. Removing equal volumes of water in both half reactions through evaporation
4. Increasing the concentration of Fe2+ ions
5. Adding a NO3 - solution to the anode portion of the cell
