Answer to Question 1

None of these answers

Rationale: Specific gravity is always recorded with 1.xxx on a report and does not have units assigned to the measurement. The specific gravity is based on the concept that distilled water has a specific gravity of 1.000, and urine will have more dissolved substances and should therefore have a greater specific gravity than distilled water.

Answer to Question 2

angina pectoris

Rationale: Chest pain due to lack of blood nourishment to the heart is called angina pectoris.
