Answer to Question 1

B
After neurosurgery, the patient is at risk for infection, corneal abrasions, and injury from falls or seizures. After neurosurgery, patients are at risk for a variety of infections, including meningitis, cerebral abscesses, bone flap infections, and subdural empyema.

Answer to Question 2

A
A thiazide diuretic such as chlorothiazide (Diuril) or metolazone (Zaroxolyn) may be administered and followed by a loop diuretic to take advantage of the fact that these medications work on different parts of the nephron. Sometimes a thiazide diuretic is added to a loop diuretic to compensate for the development of loop diuretic resistance.

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).
