Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The presence of sweating and skin flushing in a patient taking bethanechol is suggestive of a cholinergic crisis. This is a medical emergency that warrants prompt intervention by the care team. This problem is not treated with epinephrine. Assessing the patient's bladder or inserting a Foley catheter is not sufficient.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The best source of information for current recommendations is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Family Physicians, and American Academy of Infectious Disease Physicians are all sources of immunization information, but their information is based on the CDC's information.

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.
