Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Oxycodone is an opiate narcotic. Excessive use or overdose of narcotic substances can lead to respiratory depression and respiratory acidosis. Cocaine is a stimulant. Marijuana is not considered as a drug that depresses the central nervous system or respiratory center. PCP is a hallucinogenic agent.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, C, D

Manifestations of breast cancer include skin retraction in an area of the breast, unusual lump in the underarm region, and flaking skin near the nipple. A rash on the arm and arm pain upon extension are not manifestations of breast cancer.
