Respiratory Issues Complicated by Economic Disadvantage

A mother brings her 8-year-old child to the clinic, stating the child ?just isn?t breathing right, doesn?t want to play, just lies on the couch ? this happens all the time.?
The appearance of both mother and child is disheveled. The child?s wheezing can be heard across the room. When asked if the child is better at any certain time of the day, the mother responds, ?It?s like this all the time and has been for the past year ? we saw a doctor last year who diagnosed asthma but we don?t have any money for drugs or to come back to the clinic.?

Understanding Op Amp Parameters

Practical Op-Amps ? Understanding Op Amp Parameters
Search the Internet for a LM741 datasheet. texas Instruments can be a good source.
Answer the following questions:
Given a signal with a peak voltage of 10V and a frequency of 2kHz, calculate the SR for Figure A.4, pg. 212.
Given a total noise voltage of ent = 1mV, current noise In = 2pA/sqrt(Hz), and a source resistance Rs = 2kohms, calculate the voltage noise, Vn parameter. Requires solving for Vn in equation (A.3), pg. 207.
Given that the maximum frequency without distortion fmax is defined as fmax = SR/2pVp, calculate SR with fmax = 3kHz, and Vpp = 15.
Review the ?LM741 datasheet? in your course materials and provide the following information:
Supply voltage range
Input Offset Voltage (typical) and (max)
Large Signal Voltage Gain (min) and (typical)
CMRR (typical)
SVRR (typical)
SR (typical)
How many BJT?s comprise the internal circuitry?

Lab 3
Practical Op-Amps ? Understanding Op Amp Parameters
The purpose of this lab is to use Multisim to determine the slew rate of an op-amp using a virtual oscilloscope. Students will compare typical values of slew rate obtained from a data sheet to those measured in Multisim. An understanding of how to measure this practical limitation of op-amps will provide insight in how to choose the appropriate op-amp for a given application.
Watch video Week 3 ? Op-Amp Slew Rate.
Construct an Op-Amp configuration presented in the video in Multisim.
Use the datasheet of the Op-Amps to find the slew rate and then use the Oscilloscope to measure the slew rate.
Use the Op-Amps given in the table to repeat step 3 and complete the table.
Op-Amp Slew rate from Datasheet Measured Slew rate from simulation
LM741
LM324
LM318
LM307
LM2904
LM224
Take the screen shots of the Vout for slew rate measurements for each of the above Op-Amps.
Answer the following questions:
What is a slew rate and explain how it helps in determining the type of Op-Amp for applications.
How do you measure slew rate given the input and output voltage of an Op-Amp? What are the tools used to measure the slew rate?
Does the measured values of the slew rate match the values from datasheet? If not, explain why they are different?
Explain the differences between the slewing phenomenon.
Create a new word document called ?Lab3_StudentID.docx? with your GID substituted into the file name.
Verify all calculations from analysis and measurements from simulation. Save the results along with the table and paste the screen captures in the word document. Make sure to answer the questions.

Cardiovascular Alterations

Consider the following scenario:

A 16-year-old male presents for a sports participation examination. He has no significant medical history and no family history suggestive of risk for premature cardiac death. The patient is examined while sitting slightly recumbent on the exam table and the advanced practice nurse appreciates a grade II/VI systolic murmur heard loudest at the apex of the heart. Other physical findings are within normal limits, the patient denies any cardiovascular symptoms, and a neuromuscular examination is within normal limits. He is cleared with no activity restriction. Later in the season he collapses on the field and dies.

To prepare:

Review the scenario provided, as well as Chapter 24 in the Huether and McCance text, Chapter 10 in McPhee, S. J., & Hammer, G. D. (2012) text. Consider how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment for the patient.
Select one of the following patient factors: genetics, ethnicity, or behavior. Reflect on how the factor you selected might impact diagnosis and prescription of treatment for the patient in the scenario.
Post 1 PAGE PAPER ON a description of how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment for the patient in the scenario. Then explain how the factor you selected might impact the diagnosis and prescription of treatment for that patient.

Repairing a Data Set

Your goal for this Application is to apply the skills you explored in the demonstration video and practiced in the Discussion for this module. Like in the Discussion, you are to import a data set provided as an Excel file into SPSS. Although some of the problems may be evident in the Excel file, be sure to import the file as is into SPSS. Do not begin repairing the data until you have imported it into SPSS.
Once the import is complete, you identify each of the 28 errors in the data set and fix them, briefly describing the errors you found and how you fixed them.

The Assignment (1?2 pages):
Import the given Module 3 Application Data Set into SPSS, and then identify all of the errors in the imported SPSS file. For each error that you identify, explain why it is an error and how you fixed it. Submit your explanations as a Word document. Be sure to include a table that shows the corrected data.
