  • Question about blood type inheritance and Bombay Phenotype.?

    I'm trying to understand the inheritance pattern for blood type. Is it possible for a child to be O when both parents pass on a mixture of A/B alleles and NOT have the Bombay Phenotype.

    For example, if you know two parents who are AB and the child is O and you have a DNA test confirming that the child is indeed the parents, is it likely that the child is Oh?

    Is there some other possible explanation?

  • Should there be a breast feeding category under parenting?

    I feel that there should be a breast feeding sub category under the parenting category on Yahoo Answers. As a mother who breast fed and a women who's helped other women breast feed I understand how hard it can be to get help and suggestions for breast feeding support. To me it seems like a breast feeding mother would have an easier time getting answers for nursing help if there was a category devoted to the subject.

    Do any of you agree? What are your opinions? Would you be willing to suggest it to Yahoo Answers?

  • Looking for stethoscope suggestions (bruits, S3/S4, murmurs, ect).?

    I received an unexpected scholarship and have decided that I would like to get a new stethoscope for nursing clinicals. I'm currently using a $10 sprague from allheart but the tube rub makes it very difficult to listen for low frequency sounds. I also have trouble hearing the apical pulse on COPD patients. I've had the opportunity to use an instructors Littman Cardiology III and was very happy when I was able to find the apical on a barreled chested patient. No one with a sprague had been successful with the same patient.

    I've been trying to do some research to see what's out there but it's hard to find reviews for anything other then Littman. ANY first hand reviews or suggestions would be appreciated. My budget is $200 and I need a stethoscope with a bell and diaphragm so it can do double duty on peds.

    I'm not concerned with my stethoscope walking away. I've had the same sprague since the beginning and it NEVER leaves my side.
