The nurse takes the right arm and the right leg blood pressure with the correct size cuff and subtracts the leg systolic pressure from the arm systolic pressure. The nurse does this to figure out:
 
  a. the pressure gradient across a coarctation of the aorta
  b. the degree of functioning of the mitral valve
  c. if there is some obstruction such as a thrombus in the arterial system
  d. if there is an impairment in circulation between the arm and leg

Question 2

The pediatrician suggests that the caregivers begin to introduce iron-fortified rice cereal as the first solid food to their baby.
 
  The mother later asks the nurse why the health care practitioner wants her to give the baby iron-fortified rice cereal instead of some other food. The nurse's best response to this question is that this particular cereal: a. is the easiest to digest and least likely to cause allergies
  b. does not have many calories and won't decrease the baby's milk intake
  c. is an important bulk to help the baby have semisolid bowel movements
  d. is inexpensive and high in vitamins and minerals

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).

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
