Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
In some states, new nursing graduates are issued a permit to practice and are called graduate nurses or graduate practical nurses until they receive a license. Other states do not issue permits; new graduates are required to practice as nursing assistants until licensed. Usually, these nurses are paid less until they prove they have passed the licensure examination. Most states allow only a limited number of attempts to pass the examination; then, the graduate who has not passed must take a refresher course and pay an additional fee to be allowed to take the examination again.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The PSA is a blood test that detects a glycoprotein found only in the tissue of the prostate gland. PSA is best used in combination with a digital rectal examination for early detection of prostate cancer. The PSA test is not associated with diagnosis of colorectal cancer, erectile dysfunction, or orchitis (inflammation of the testes).
