Ryan works at the local church. It is undergoing renovations and new landscaping. The church has a number of volunteers who come along and help out during the week.

Two of the volunteers have disabilities – one is visually impaired and the other uses a wheelchair. 

Upon surveying the exterior one day, Ryan notices that much of the surface at the main entrance of the church is made of gravel. The gravel path is also very close to the busy front street. He is concerned that this may not be very safe for some of the volunteers. 

A man is stranded in the Sahara Desert and as a consequence, he is severely dehydrated two days later. Is the intercellular fluid hypertonic compared to his extracellular fluid?

Does the statement correlate with his condition? There will be a net movement of water out of the cell due to osmosis.

His cell cannot sustain this much fluid volume and will burst. His intercellular fluid is hypotonic compared to his extracellular fluid

There will be a net movement of water out of the cell due to osmosis and His intercellular fluid is hypotonic co

Which of the following would NOT be an example of an epigenetic influence on health endpoint? S-adenosyl methionine consumption leads to altered fetal gene expression in utero

Consumption of folic acid and certain vegetable influences DNA methylation patterns and possibly the development of bowel cancer

Bisphenol A (BPA) and phthalates alter microRNA expression in human placental cells and increase the risk of endocrine disorders later in the life of offspring.

A single base substitution in the 6th DNA triplet of the beta-globin gene leads to the production of & quot; sickle cell& quot; globin, resulting in the expression of sickle cell trait or sickle cell anemia

The epigenome can modify the way DNA is structured or silence parts of the Genome. The three modifications that have been most studied are: Cytokinesis, protein synthesis modification, zygote restructuring DNA methylation, histone modification, and the interaction of microRNAs with the genome Post-translational modification, germline mutations, and single-nucleotide polymorphisms Developmental modifications, environmental modifications, and nutritional modification Explain this.

View the following film on children who have been exposed to domestic violence (Please note that this film may be disturbing to some):

Address the following:

1. What are your thoughts after viewing this film?

 

2. Research suggests that in the long term, children who have been exposed to domestic violence—especially those children who do not receive therapeutic intervention may be at increased risk of criminal and violent behavior.  Did Beth demonstrate any of these behaviors? Provide examples.

 

3. Beth recovered from her trauma and is currently a practicing RN who works with abused children.  What are some factors/interventions that help children recover from traumatic experiences?
