Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Lacerations should be washed gently with mild soap and water or normal saline. A sterile pad is not necessary, and hydrogen peroxide and povidone-iodine should not be used because they have a cytotoxic effect on healthy cells and minimal effect on controlling infection. Soaking the arm does not effectively clean the wound.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, D, E
In Cushing's syndrome, physiologic disturbances seen are cushingoid features, hyperglycemia, susceptibility to infection, hypertension, and hypokalemia.

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