Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The major use for nitrous oxide is a central nervous system depressant. As such, it is a potent an-esthetic when administered in high concentrations. At very low concentrations (2 to 80 parts per million) combined with oxygen, nitric oxide has been used successfully to treat persistent pul-monary hypertension of the newborn. Carbon dioxide is nonflammable, but it supports combus-tion. Helium-oxygen mixtures decrease the work of breathing by decreasing turbulent airflow.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Helium is the second-lightest element, with a density of 0.165 kg/m3 at 21.1 C and 1 atmos-pheric pressure (atm). Oxygen is slightly heavier than air, with a density of 1.326 kg/m3 at 21.1 C and 760 mm Hg.

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.

Anesthesia awareness is a potentially disturbing adverse effect wherein patients who have been paralyzed with muscle relaxants may awaken. They may be aware of their surroundings but unable to communicate or move. Neurologic monitoring equipment that helps to more closely check the patient's anesthesia stages is now available to avoid the occurrence of anesthesia awareness.

Coca-Cola originally used coca leaves and caffeine from the African kola nut. It was advertised as a therapeutic agent and "pickerupper." Eventually, its formulation was changed, and the coca leaves were removed because of the effects of regulation on cocaine-related products.
