Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
During Weber's test (lateralization of sound), the nurse places the vibrating tuning fork in the middle of the patient's forehead. During a Rinne test (comparison of air and bone conduction), the nurse places a vibrating tuning fork on the patient's mastoid process and compares the length of time air and bone conduction is heard. Comparing the patient's degree of joint movement to the normal level is a test for range of motion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, E
Self-measurement of blood pressure has several benefits. Sometimes elevated blood pressure is detected in persons previously unaware of a problem. Persons with prehypertension provide information about the pattern of blood pressure values to their health care provider. Patients with hypertension benefit from participating actively in their treatment through self-monitoring, which promotes compliance with treatment. Disadvantages of self-measurement include the risk of inaccurate readings. Electronic devices are not recommended if the patient has an irregular heart rate.

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).
