Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
People remain the major source of microorganisms in the OR environment. The surgical team is the most common source of transmission, followed by contaminated instrumentation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The CDC recommends that babies receive a onetime dose of 0.5 ophthalmic ointment instilled into their eyes within 1 hour, to protect against contamination by vaginal secretions of an infected mother.

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.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
