Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Dialysate is typically clear. Cloudy or malodorous dialysate may indicate infection. Blood or feces in the dialysate may indicate organ or bowel perforation. Peritoneal dialysis does not use vascular access.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
The patient with chronic kidney disease needs to adhere to a low-protein, sodium- and potassium-restricted diet. Menu choices that include large amounts of protein, potassium, and sodium in processed foods indicate that dietary teaching was not effective.

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).

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.
