Answer to Question 1

There are many ways to modify one's home to adjust to changing competencies.
Minor structural changes include installing handrails and door knobs that are easier to grip. Major structural changes include lowering countertops, widening hallways and doorways, and adding wheelchair ramps. Even though the cost of home modifications may be less than a long-term care facility or assisted living, some individuals still cannot afford to make these changes. This results in a mismatch between their competencies and their environment.

Answer to Question 2

Competence is defined as a person's upper limit of ability to function in five domains: physical health, sensory-perceptual skills, motor skills, cognitive skills, and ego strength. Environmental press describes the physical, social, or interpersonal demands the environment makes on people.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

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).
