Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

In respiratory acidosis, there are a drop in the blood pH, reduced level of oxygen, and retaining of carbon dioxide. The body needs to be well-hydrated so that pulmonary secretions can be removed to improve oxygenation. Careful administration of intravenous fluids is important in the older client with metabolic alkalosis because older clients are at risk because of their fragile fluid and electrolyte status. Sodium bicarbonate is indicated in the treatment of metabolic acidosis. Reducing environmental stimuli would be appropriate for the client with respiratory alkalosis.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: B

The zygote undergoes mitosis to form a multicellular embryo, which becomes a fetus and then an infant. Meiosis, the reduction division of the cell, occurs only in the sex cells of the testes and ovaries. When the two sex cells combine during fertilization, the total number of chromosomes present in the offspring's cells is 46, not 50.

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).
