Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The smell of ammonia is an aura, which is a warning prior to seizure activity. The tumor will not evoke a chemical agent prior to the seizure. The metastatic process will not evoke a chemical smell. The chemical smell is not related to the inhibition of serotonin and acetylcholine.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
For accurate interpretation of a patient's lipid profile, blood samples for laboratory testing of triglycerides should be drawn after the patient has fasted for 12 hours.
