Answer to Question 1

D
The location of an ostomy determines stool consistency. The more intestine remaining, the more formed and normal the stool.

Answer to Question 2

B
Always place the stethoscope directly on the skin because clothing obscures the sound. Position the diaphragm to make a tight seal against the patient's skin. Exert enough pressure on the diaphragm to leave a temporary red ring on the patient's skin when the diaphragm is removed.

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