Answer to Question 1

A
All statements are accurate, but the question asks about the purpose of the ICD.
ICDs are devices indicated for patients with repeated episodes of life-threatening dysrhythmias and for some patients with cardiomyopathy. This device monitors the heartbeat and provides an electrical shock similar to that delivered in cardiac defibrillation or cardioversion when a life-threatening rhythm is detected. Most ICDs have the ability to pace as well as defibrillate. The patient is warned to avoid exposure to strong magnetic fields such as: microwave towers, transformers and electrical transmitters, electrical generators, handheld security devices at air-ports, and arc welding equipment. The patient should not lean over the alternator of a running car or boat motor. A magnetic field will temporarily inactivate the device. Moving away from the magnetic source will restore normal function.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E
Age-related changes that occur in women after menopause include uterine atrophy, increased vaginal dryness, decreased bone mass, and uterine prolapse. Vaginal elasticity decreases after menopause.

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.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
