Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 30 mL

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
The nurse should insert the intravenous access line first and draw the blood for the blood cultures through the access line prior to the initiation of the IV antibiotic. Once the intravenous line is established, the antibiotic can be started. Acetaminophen is not a priority at this time and can be provided at any point in the process.

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).
