Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

C
C. For aquathermia or uncovered heating pad, cover or wrap affected area with bath towel or enclose pad with pillowcase.
A. The nurse can adjust the temperature setting by inserting a plastic key into the control unit. In most health care institutions, the central supply department sets the temperature regulators to the recommended temperature, approximately 40.5 to 43 C (105 to 109.4 F).
B. If distilled water in the unit runs low, the nurse simply adds more distilled water to the reservoir at the top of the control unit.
D. Rubber and plastic conduct heat, so the pad should be encased in a towel or pillowcase to avoid direct exposure to the skin. Never position client so that client is lying directly on pad. This position prevents dissipation of heat and increases risk of burns.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

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).
