What is Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?
many things, keying on a PC for one, using the same repetitive motion for another, writing long hand, lifting heavy objects too many times, these are just a few examples. Additionally, while repetitive motion is often thought to cause Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, the actual cause is usually in muscles. The muscles are often in your lower arm but can be as far away as your chest or neck! Working with good posture and keeping your wrists straight (rather than tilting or bending it) will help prevent and correct carpal tunnel symptoms. Also, being deficient in B-vitamins can cause Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.

How would a nurse assess for compartment syndrome?
Compartment Syndrome typically involves individuals who have had an injury protected with a cast. Nurses would look for burning, itching, numbness, checking the area above and below the cast for +3 or +4 edema, ask about pain level, check capillary refill, check the temperature of the distal portion of the limb as well as checking pulse points when and where possible. It is EXTREMELY important that if it is suspected that a patient is suffering from compartment syndrome that the nurse should immediately notify the attending physician so that proper steps can be taken.
A train is 180m long and travels at a speed of 36km per hour How long will it take to pass through a tunnel 90m long?
36km/hour = 10m/second Assuming you're calculating the time taken from the moment the front of the train enters the tunnel to the time when the back of the train exits the tunnel, you're looking at a total distance of 180+180+90 = 450m Hence the time taken to pass through the tunnel completely would be 450/10 = 45secs.
