Answer to Question 1

C
Place the stethoscope over the brachial artery to measure blood pressure. Use the radial site for the radial pulse, the ulnar site for the ulnar pulse, and the temporal site for the temporal pulse.

Answer to Question 2

A
Sputum specimens are collected to identify cancer cells, for culture and sensitivity (C&S) to identify pathogens and determine the antibiotics to which they are sensitive, and for acid-fast bacilli to diagnose pulmonary tuberculosis. Cytological or cellular examinations of sputum may identify aberrant cells or cancer. Chemical analysis would indicate chemicals within the blood, not sputum. Sputum collected for culture and sensitivity testing is used to identify specific microorganisms and to determine which antibiotics are most sensitive. A definitive diagnosis of TB also requires a sputum culture and sensitivity.
