Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) have established standards for the calibration of blood gas electrodes. A one-point calibration uses a nearly normal pH buffer with a pH of 7.384. A second, lower pH buffer, pH 6.840 is analyzed in the two-point calibration to ensure that the electronic output of the electrode is linear over a wide range of pH levels.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
As a blood sample comes in contact with the measuring electrode of the glucose sensor, the glu-cose oxidase on the surface of the electrode converts the glucose in the sample to hydrogen per-oxide and gluconic acid.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made.

A cataract is a clouding of the eyes' natural lens. As we age, some clouding of the lens may occur. The first sign of a cataract is usually blurry vision. Although glasses and other visual aids may at first help a person with cataracts, surgery may become inevitable. Cataract surgery is very successful in restoring vision, and it is the most frequently performed surgery in the United States.
