2. Identify the muscle groups likely to be affected by Ms. G’s condition by referring to “ARC: Anatomy Resource Center.”
3. What is the significance of the subjective and objective data provided with regard to follow-up diagnostic/laboratory testing, education, and future preventative care? Provide rationale for your answer.
4. What factors are present in this situation that could delay wound healing, and what precautions are required to prevent delayed wound healing? Explain.

1.Anatomy of a Murder, Part 2, chs 8-14) Why does Parnell leave Polly alone at the trial and take a short trip? How does what Parnell accomplishes on this trip help Lt. Manion’s defense? What precisely did Parnell accomplish, and what problem does this solve for Polly’s defense of Lt. Manion—or at least give him the hope of solving?
2.Anatomy of a Murder, Part 2, chs 15-23) Assuming that Barney Quill did rape Laura Manion, what is your theory about what Barney Quill thought would happen later that evening (after the rape) in his bar? What outcome did Barney Quill anticipate? Try to factor into your answer the information we learned about Barney’s behavior for the two weeks prior to Barney’s death (Alfonse Paquette testified about this), and the news that Barney had obtained Life Insurance Policies two weeks before he died. (NB—typical life insurance policies become void if the insured commits suicide within one year of taking out the policy).

What specific skills and knowledge that you gained through this course will be most important as you take on your future roles in nursing? Describe a concrete way in which you anticipate using these skills and knowledge. Here are the course objectives to help remind you of what you have learned this term:
Compare normal anatomy and physiology to alterations in function and regulation of body organs and systems in response to stressors.
Correlate clinical signs and symptoms and diagnostic results with the development or progression of disease processes.
Examine the way in which known or suspected lifestyle practices disrupt the normal homeostatic mechanisms of major organ systems.
Propose therapeutic interventions for identified pathophysiologic processes considering age, ethnicity, gender, and co-morbidities of patient.
