Answer to Question 1

3
The gold standard for evaluation of dysphagia is videofluoroscopy or a modified barium swallow. This test demonstrates the swallowing mechanism. The other tests may be prescribed; however, they do not provide as much information as the videofluoroscopy.

Answer to Question 2

1
The possibility of hematoma formation and edema post-procedure are the major complications that may present as respiratory difficulty. The client should be instructed to notify the physician of any problems with breathing after the procedure. A sore throat after a thyroid biopsy is a common experience, and the client does not need to go to the emergency room. The surgeon will not remove the thyroid gland during the same time as the biopsy. There are special preparations for the test, depending upon the level of anesthesia the client will receive.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
