Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Burns can occur because the site of measurement needs to be heated to between 42 C and 45 C. Repositioning the sensor every 4-6 hours will help avoid this problem.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Exhaled nitric oxide (NO) is currently used as a marker for airway inflammation associated with asthma. Monitoring the level of exhaled NO can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of in-haled corticosteroid in the treatment of asthmatic patients.

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.
