Answer to Question 1

10 Choose a Mendelian disorder, briefly describe it, and clearly and accurately explain the genetic pattern of transmission and possible interventions.
8 Choose a Mendelian disorder, describe it, and somewhat clearly and accurately explain the genetic pattern of transmission and possible interventions. Leave out some essential details.
6 Choose a Mendelian disorder, describe it, and somewhat clearly and accurately explain the genetic pattern of transmission and possible interventions. Leave out essential details.
4 Choose a Mendelian disorder, describe it, and unclearly and inaccurately explain the genetic pattern of transmission and possible interventions. Leave out essential details.
2 Choose a non-Mendelian disorder, and unclearly and inaccurately explain the genetic pattern of transmission and possible interventions. Leave out most essential details.

Answer to Question 2

10 Identify six infectious diseases and summarize their commonalities. Clearly explain the methods of transmission (maternal and fetus), risks to the fetus and infant, and treatment for each infection.
8 Identify six infectious diseases and summarize their commonalities. Somewhat clearly explain the methods of transmission (maternal and fetus), risks to the fetus and infant, and treatment for most of the infections.
6 Identify five to six of the infectious diseases and allude to their commonalities. Somewhat clearly explain the methods of transmission (maternal and fetus), risks to the fetus and infant, and treatment for some of the infections.
4 Identify three to five of the infectious diseases and allude to some of their commonalities. Unclearly explain the methods of transmission (maternal and fetus), risks to the fetus and infant, and treatment for some of the infections.
2 Identify zero to four of the infectious diseases and allude to some of their characteristics. Unclearly explain the methods of transmission (maternal and fetus), risks to the fetus and infant, and treatment for one or two of the infections.

Anesthesia awareness is a potentially disturbing adverse effect wherein patients who have been paralyzed with muscle relaxants may awaken. They may be aware of their surroundings but unable to communicate or move. Neurologic monitoring equipment that helps to more closely check the patient's anesthesia stages is now available to avoid the occurrence of anesthesia awareness.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
