  B)
  The chest leads measure electrical activity on the horizontal plane, while limb leads measure it on the vertical plane.

Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Fever and facial pain are more commonly associated with rhinosinusitis rather than the common cold. The other noted symptoms are indicative of the common cold rather than rhinosinusitis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

A complete ECG is obtained by combining data from chest leads, which measure activity on the horizontal plane, and limb leads, corresponding to the vertical or frontal plane. The electrical potential recorded by a lead on an extremity should not vary significantly depending on where the lead is placed on the extremity, and limb leads do not measure electrical activity by way of skeletal muscle activity. A total of 12 leads, only six of which are on the chest, are necessary for a complete ECG.

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).
