Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

There is a lack of recognized biological markers for CFS. While there are no cures presently, there are treatments that are aimed at alleviating symptoms. Diagnostic criteria have been established, and CFS can manifest with such objective findings as fever and lymph node and thyroid enlargement.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
C

Feedback:

The hypothalamus in older adults is often less capable of thermoregulation than in younger clients. There are sometimes alterations in the release of endogenous pyrogens and deficits in vasoconstriction. While infections do often manifest with cognitive changes in older adults, this does not explain why fever is precluded.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

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).
