◍ What to do you do before administering Parenteral Injections.
Answer: Always aspirate plunger before administration and know the proper
locations and equipment size
◍ Ridges & Troughs of Pressure pattern.
Answer: Ridges: rel. high P that extends from high P centres.Troughs: lines
of propagation of low P.
◍ Centrifuge.
Answer: Let clot for 20 mins, spin for 10 mins
◍ Loose-snow avalanche (sluff).
Answer: Made up of surface & near-surface snow not well bonded. Starts at
a single point & fans out -> inverted VNo major structural dmgIf snow has
high liq water content - more like to sweep along = wet sluff. Often by solar
radiation/ rainfall.
◍ Cold front.
Answer: Southerly in NA, warm humid air advects from S. Strong winds,
gusty, P rel. Min.Associated w/ Cumuliform clouds.T decreases w/ time
behind the front.Winds are stronger near frontsCold fronts bring a narrow
band of precipitaiton

◍ Lightning.
Answer: Long, thin spark created in TS. Can be btw cloud & ground, 2
clouds, within a cloud, cloud to air.Forms from collision of small ice
crystals & hailstones (graupels)Small ice crystals (+) carried to the top of TS
by updraft to anvil while larger graupel (-) towards bot as they fall. When
the voltage dif. is big enough, insulative air ->ionized, conductive. Greater
build up of voltage = longer lightning
