Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

In addition to a steady rise in end-tidal carbon dioxide levels, an initial sign of the disorder, when the condition occurs during anesthesia, is skeletal muscle rigidity.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
C

Feedback:

The resistance of the bed in a supine position limits lung expansion and, ultimately, oxygenation. Inactivity does not increase oxygen demand, and patients tend to breathe more shallowly. The goal is to use abdominal muscles less and the chest cage more.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

Before a vaccine is licensed in the USA, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviews it for safety and effectiveness. The CDC then reviews all studies again, as well as the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians.
