Answer the following question. To support your answers, use examples from your own experience and references to texts you have read.
Three high school students are being evaluated by health care providers at a drug rehabilitation clinic for adolescents. Hector, a 15- year-old boy, appears agitated and restless. He tells his health care provider that he is having muscle spasms. Upon examination, the care provider notes that Hector has a rapid heart rate and a dangerously high blood pressure. Carolyn, a 16-year-old girl, is being reassessed following a visit to the emergency room last night. According to the ER records, Carolyn was at a party with her friends when she suddenly had a seizure. Her records also document that she has an abnormal heart rate upon submission. Dante, a 14-year-old boy, was also admitted to the ER the night before. Dante's parents found him lying on the couch in a deep sleep. When they could not arouse their son, they rushed him to the hospital where he experienced a convulsion. Later that night, Dante's parents discovered medication hidden in his room that his mother had used earlier, following major surgery.

1. What type of drug do you think Hector might be using?
2. What long-term problems can this type of drug cause?
3. What drug likely caused Carolyn's seizure and abnormal heart rhythm?
4. How do users obtain the most drastic "high" using this drug?
5. What drug might have caused Dante's symptoms?
6. Do you think the drug Dante used is legal or illegal, or does it depend on the circumstances? Explain your answer.

I made an answer on the Scifi.SE that can be read here. It isabout how the characters in the story Jurassic Park might havegotten DNA for all the species shown.

In my answer, I said this:

Apes and Humans, for example, share over 99% of their genes.That means the difference between our species is less than 1% ofour genes. In fact, all life on Earth shares about 50% of it'sgenes.

but in the original posting (before someone edited it) I choseto use the word DNA instead of genes.

He left this comment in the section to explain the edit:

Sorry, I'm a biologist, I can't help it. Humans and apes share99% similarity in the coding sequences of their DNA, the ~5% thatcodes for genes, not on all the DNA. I simplified this to genes forthe answer.

I have a basic high school understanding of DNA and genes, soI'm afraid I fail to see the difference between using "DNA" orusing "genes" in my statement. I understand that genes are specificsequences of DNA that are used by the cell in some way. Iunderstand that DNA is more generic, including all of the strands,whether they are used or not, whether they seem to code forsomething or not.

So is it wrong then to say that apes and humans share 99% oftheir DNA or is it equally correct to say "genes"?

Should we implement biannual weigh-ins to assess eating disorder risk in our youth?

Many individuals develop eating disorders during middle school or high school. Finding eating disorders early on, specifically during this developmental stage, is critical to preventing the progression of these illnesses. A potential way to assess the risk of eating disorders in middle or high school aged youth is to conduct biannual weigh-ins. If the youth's weight shows a significant deviation from the previous weigh-in, a difference not correlated with a height-weight chart of the normal growth process, parents/guardians would be informed. A meeting between a nutritionist, the child, and the parent/guardian would be held to plan a course of action. There are two main viewpoints concerning the proposal for biannual weigh-ins:

1. As eating disorders often develop during the early teen years, it is necessary to evaluate youth in order to prevent the progression of a serious problem. Therefore, biannual weigh-ins are a step in the right direction.

2. Biannual weigh-ins are not the answer to combating eating disorders and should not be instituted in schools. There are inefficient and could set youth on an unhealthy path.

Using your own outside research (scholarly literature only), please choose a position and post a 500 (or more) word discussion post outlining your position. Make sure to consider all sides of the prompt, and examine how this would or could impact those without and without a diagnosis, as well as the effectiveness of this intervention on those diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder.
