Answer to Question 1

B
B. Altered tissue perfusion would be associated with decreased circulation leading to cool and pale skin with capillary refill >2.5 seconds.
A. Impaired skin integrity would be associated with a breakdown in the skin surface.
C. Fluid volume deficit would be demonstrated with dry skin with tenting.
D. Altered nutritional state can refer to both more than body requirements or less than body requirements.

Answer to Question 2

C
Initiate the blood transfusion within 30 minutes of the time of release from the blood bank. If you cannot do this because the patient is in the bathroom or the physician has to be notified of an elevated temperature, immediately return the blood to the blood bank, and retrieve it when you can administer it.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.

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).
