Answer to Question 1

A
Explanation: A cerebrospinal fluid shunt treats hydrocephalus. A laminectomy treats compression on a spinal nerve. A carotid endarterectomy clears blockages from the carotids. A nerve block is used to stop the passage of sensory or pain impulses along a nerve path.

Answer to Question 2

D
Explanation: A thrombolytic dissolves an existing clot. A hematinic increases the number of erythrocytes or hemoglobin in the blood. An anticoagulant prevents blood clot formation. An antiplatelet interferes with the action of platelets.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
