Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Each person's pain tolerance is different and will need to be assessed on an individual basis. Everyone does not have the same pain threshold or perceive pain at the same intensity. Different people have a different pain response to surgery.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3
Indications for a referral to a genetic specialist include infertility, seizure disorder, and premature ovarian failure as might be seen with early menopause. A neighbor's suicide and a cousin's drug addiction are not indications for a genetic specialist.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
