Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Many instrumentation companies manufacture laboratory blood gas analyzers. Although available in a range of designs, these devices typically share the following key components:
 An operator interface (e.g., operating controls, light-emitting diode LED or cathode ray tube CRT displays, keypads, software)
 A measuring chamber incorporating the typical three-electrode system
 Calibrating gas tanks
 Reagent containers (buffers used for calibration, rinse solutions)
 A waste container
 A results display, storage, and transmittal system (e.g., screen, printer, disk storage device, network interface)

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The most common site for sampling is the heel, specifically the lateral aspect of the plantar sur-face.

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.
