Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Supplemental oxygenation may be necessary before, and is always performed after, suctioning a child with a tracheostomy tube. Providing tracheostomy care, administering drugs with a nebulizer, and suctioning with a bulb syringe do not require supplemental oxygen.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
A woman with a small frame and thin bones is at a higher risk for osteoporosis. Caucasian or Asian women, not African American women, are at higher risk for the condition. A woman who plays tennis twice a week is active and thus would be at low risk for osteoporosis. Women who ingest excessive amounts of caffeine are at increased risk.

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).
