Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Warfarin, heparin, Coumadin, low-molecular weight dextran, and aspirin are examples of agents that provide adequate anticoagulation with a minimum of hemorrhagic complications. They prevent venous stasis to prevent DVTs and pulmonary emboli.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Fluorovent is an oxygen-carrying perfluorocarbon (PFC) that can be used for preterm infants with underdeveloped lungs and in both adults and children with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It is a liquid instilled directly into the lungs to act as a surfactant. It encourages the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may benefit from its use as well.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
