Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The PO2 is determined by measuring current changes that occur as oxygen is reduced, hence the technique represents an amperometric measurement. The blood gas factor is a phenomenon due to the slow rate of oxygen diffusion in fluids (i.e., oxygen consumed by an electrode is not replaced by oxygen from the blood). Measurements based on voltage changes are called potentiometric measurements. Tonometry is a measure of pressure and a method of quality control for arterial blood gas machines.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Between the Teflon membrane and the pH glass electrode is a bicarbonate-buffered solution. A mercury bead is part of a pH electrode. A KCl solution is used in the pH electrode. A silver an-ode is used in the Clark electrode.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
