Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

The piston is found in the volume-oriented SMI, not the flow-oriented SMI. All of the other actions would be correct for both volume-oriented and flow-oriented SMIs.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

The client should be taught to hold the breath for 3-5 seconds to help maintain open alveoli, not 30-40 seconds. The other teaching points would be correct.

The human body's pharmacokinetics are quite varied. Our hair holds onto drugs longer than our urine, blood, or saliva. For example, alcohol can be detected in the hair for up to 90 days after it was consumed. The same is true for marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin, methamphetamine, and nicotine.

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).
