Answer to Question 1

Answer: A, B, E

Initial responses to rape generally include feelings of shock, denial, and disbelief. Anger and self-blame are early responses but not typically the initial response.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B, E

Lysine has been identified as an essential amino acid that decreases the pain of an episiotomy. This amino acid is present in meat, cheese, fish, eggs, and nuts. The nurse should instruct the client to tighten the buttocks before sitting to reduce the pain. The client should wash the area daily and the peripad should be changed four times a day to decrease the risk of infection, not pain. Performing leg scissor kick exercises would put strain on the incision site and should not be done.

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).

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.
