As you get C.E. settled in the exam room, what routine information regarding risk factors for otitis media (OM) would you want to obtain from Mrs. E.?

Three-year-old C.E. is admitted to the emergency department (ED) fast track clinic. Her mother tells the nurse that C.E. has had a low-grade fever for 2 days and is complaining of ear pain and a sore throat. C.E.'s mother states that C.E.'s appetite has been "off;' but she has been drinking and using the bathroom as usual. As you get C.E. settled in the exam room, you suspect C.E may have otitis media (OM).
What routine information regarding risk factors for OM would you want to obtain from C.'s mother?

The primary care provider (PCP) diagnoses C.E. with bilateral otitis media and strep pharyngitis. C.E. is given a prescription for Augmentin 600 mg bid PO x7 days. She is to be discharged to home with instructions to follow-up with the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist.
You are providing C's mother with information on medication administration. Which of these statements by C.'s mother indicates need for further teaching? Select all that apply.
a. "I will place the correct amount of antibiotic in the ear canal once a daY:' b. "I will monitor for vomiting, diarrhea, or stomachaches because this might be a side effect of the medication:'
c. "If C. refuses to take her medication, I will tell her it tastes like the candy we get at the movies'.'
d. "This medicine can be given with or without food:'
e. "I don't have to finish the medication if she feels better after a few days:'

B.L., 17, had a compression fracture at the C5-C6 after jumping into a river from a bridge and slamming into a submerged rock. Fortunately, she was saved by a companion who had first-aid expertise and worked to limit any collateral damage. B.L. was unable to move her limbs, feel touch, or have reflexes in her limbs when she arrived at the emergency room. Describe why it is impossible to determine the entire amount of lasting damage during this initial time frame.

Match each type of disease with the type of disease-causing agent that causes it. _ African sleeping sickness A. virus B. bacterium C. protist D. parasitic worm E. fungus

In each of the following sentences, circle any letter that should be capitalized and draw a slash (\/) through any letter that should be lowercase. **Example 1**. $\text{\textcircled}{\text{{d}}}$id you ask $\text{\textcircled}{\text{{d}}}$r. fishbein or her ${\sout{\text{D}}}$ental ${\sout{\text{A}}}$ssistant about your toothache during your appointment last $\text{\textcircled}{\text{{f}}}$riday? “In case of an Emergency,” the notice read, “Please call $911$ to reach ems or the police.”

A patient is evaluated in the emergency department after causing an automobile accident while being under the influence of alcohol. While assessing the patient, which statement would be the most therapeutic?

1. “Why did you drive after you had been drinking?”
2. “We have multiple patients to see tonight as a result of this accident.”
3. “Tell me what happened before, during, and after the automobile accident tonight.”
4. “It will be okay. No one was seriously hurt in the accident.”

The probability that a call to an emergency help line is answered in less than 15 seconds is 0.85. Assume that all calls are independent. (a) What is the probability that exactly 7 of 10 calls are answered within 15 seconds? (b) What is the probability that at least 16 of 20 calls are answered in less than 15 seconds? (c) For 50 calls, what is the mean number of calls that are answered in less than 15 seconds? (d) Repeat parts (a)–(c) using the normal approximation.

Malcolm injured himself after trying to break his fall with outstretched arms. The emergency room physician took one look at his shoulder and saw that Malcolm had a broken clavicle (and no other injury). Describe the position of Malcolm’s shoulder. What part of the clavicle was most likely broken? Malcolm was worried about injury to the main blood vessels to his arm (the subclavian vessels), but he was told such injury was unlikely. Why could the doctor predict this?

Hos pitals typically req uire backup generators to provide electricity in the event of a power outage. Assume that emergency backup generato rs fai l 22% of the times when they are needed (based on data from Arshad Mansoor, senior vice president with the Electric Power Research In stitute). A hospital has two backup generators so that power is avail able if one of them fails during a power outage. Find the probability of having a working generator in the event of a power outage. Is that probability high enough for the hospital?

Heart failure is due to either natural occurrences (87%) or outside factors (13%). Outside factors are related to induced substances or foreign objects. Natural occurrences are caused by arterial blockage, disease, and infection. Suppose that 20 patients will visit an emergency room with heart failure. Assume that causes of heart failure between individuals are independent. (a) What is the probability that three individuals have conditions caused by outside factors? (b) What is the probability that three or more individuals have conditions caused by outside factors? (c) What are the mean and standard deviation of the number of individuals with conditions caused by outside factors?

Ambulance response time. Geographical Analysis (Jan. 2010) presented a study of emergency medical service (EMS) ability to meet the demand for an ambulance. In one example, the researchers presented the following scenario. An ambulance station has one vehicle and two demand locations, $\mathrm{A}$ and $\mathrm{B}$. The probability that the ambulance can travel to a location in under 8 minutes is $.58$ for location $\mathrm{A}$ and $.42$ for location $\mathrm{B}$. The probability that the ambulance is busy at any point in time is $.3$. Find the probability that EMS can meet the demand for an ambulance at location B.
