Answer to Question 1

D
The CDC has consistently found that motor vehicle injuries are the leading cause of unintentional death in children younger than 18 years of age in the United States. Drowning is the second leading cause of unintentional death for children under 18 years of age. Airway obstruction is the third leading cause of unintentional death for children under 19 years of age. Pedestrian injuries are not the leading cause of unintentional death in children. It is a significant problem, with most injuries occurring in children between 1 and 4 years.

Answer to Question 2

B
An early sign of distributive shock is extremities that are warm to the touch. Hypotension is a late sign of all types of shock. Oliguria is a manifestation of hypovolemic shock. Cold, clammy skin is a late sign of septic shock, which is a type of distributive shock.

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).
