Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Need for oxygen, food, water, and elimination are essential physiologic needs. Need for shelter is a security and safety need, not a physiologic need.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The cardiac valves are one-way flaps of tissue that open and close in response to pressure changes within the chambers. These unidirectional valves allow blood to flow in one direction only, preventing backflow. The cardiac valves do not contract with sufficient force to pump blood; that is the function of the left ventricle. The atria heart chambers are receiving centers for blood. A complete muscular wall called the septum divides the heart into right and left sides.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
