Vitals
Measurement that indicate the state of a patient's essential body functions.
What is a vital sign?
Single-celled organisms that do not rely on a host
What are bacteria?
The one disease from our dictionary that is caused by fungi
What is ringworm?
Variable is changed by the person conducting the experiment.
What is independent variable?
An educated guess based on some evidence and used as a starting point to investigate further.
What is a hypothesis?
The four cardinal vital signs
What are blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and respiratory rate?
The type of bacteria we grew in class.
What is E. coli?
This disease causes a person to cough up blood for 3 weeks or longer
What is Tuberculosis?
Variable is the measurable effect or response. It is observed or measured.
What is dependent variable?
What does this equation calculate?
beats x 4 = BPM
What is pulse?
When exercising this is what pulse does
What is pulse increases?
Tiny infectious agents that can only multiply when they are inside a host. Not technically a living organism
What is a virus?
This disease can cause death within hours without treatment
What is Cholera?
You are looking at patient test results.
The positive control is purple
The negative control is blue
The patient sample is blue
Does the patient have the disease? Why/why not?
What is no because the patient sample results do not match the positive control?
A microscopic organism such as a bacterium, virus, or fungus.
What is a microorganism or disease agent?
The average respiration rate for adults
What is 12 - 20 breaths per minute?
The treatment used for bacterial infections
What is antibiotics?
The two diseases in our dictionary spread by bug bites
What is Lyme Disease and Zika Virus?
Control: 0 cm
Ampicillin: 1.3 cm
Tetracycline: 2.3 cm
Erythromycin: 1.4 cm
Based on these measurements, which antibiotic is most effective?
What is tetracycline?
Organisms that reproduce quickly in moist, humid environments. Often live on dead/decaying material
What is fungi?
Hypothesis: Jumping jacks (jj) increase pulse.
Trial 1
Pulse after jj: 89
Trial 2
Pulse after jj: 88
Trial 3
Pulse after jj: 91
WHAT CRITICAL PART IS MISSING?
What is the Control? (the resting pulse)
Treatment for viral infections
What is there is no treatment?
The disease that is mainly spread from raw or undercooked poultry products
What is Salmonellosis?
Research question
Hypothesis

What is experimental design?
How would we know which antibiotic had been the most effective in our bacteria lab?
What is the largest zone of inhibition?
