Answer to Question 1

Saved me massive time.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

Arterial blood gases (ABGs) show a pH greater than 7.45 and bicarbonate level greater than 26 mEq/L when the patient is in metabolic alkalosis. Respiratory and metabolic acidosis are both consistent with pH less than 7.35. Respiratory alkalosis is associated with a pH greater than 7.45 and a PaCO2 of less than 35 mmHG. It is caused by respiratory related conditions.

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).

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts.
