Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Gout is a disorder of uric acid, and other agents would be used to treat this disorder.
Rationale 2: This is a symptom of a thyroid disorder and would be treated with other agents.
Rationale 3: Immunosuppressants are used to diminish the immune response, as with clients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Rationale 4: Immunosuppressants would be contraindicated in the client with cancer.
Global Rationale: Immunosuppressants are drugs that diminish the ability of the immune system to fight infection and disease. Immunosuppressants are used to prevent transplant rejection and to dampen hyperactive immune responses, such as those that may occur during exacerbations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Gout is a disorder of uric acid, and other agents would be used to treat this disorder. This is a symptom of a thyroid disorder and would be treated with other agents. Immunosuppressants would be contraindicated in the client with cancer.

Rationale 1: The gamma interferons have some clinical utility, but there are interferons that are more active.
Rationale 2: The alpha interferons have the greatest clinical utility.
Rationale 3: The beta interferons have some clinical utility, but there are interferons that are more active.
Rationale 4: The mu interferons are most active in the pain response.
Global Rationale: The gamma interferons have some clinical utility, but there are interferons that are more active. The alpha interferons have the greatest clinical utility. The beta interferons have some clinical utility, but there are interferons that are more active. The mu interferons are most active in the pain response.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
