Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback
A Postpartum depression is not the normal worries (blues) that many new mothers
experience. Many caregivers believe that postpartum depression is
underdiagnosed and underreported.
B Postpartum psychosis is a rare condition that usually surfaces within 3 weeks of
delivery. Hospitalization of the woman is usually necessary for treatment of this
disorder.
C Bipolar disorder is one of the two categories of postpartum psychosis,
characterized by both manic and depressive episodes.
D Postpartum blues or baby blues is a transient self-limiting disease that is
believed to be related to hormonal fluctuations after childbirth.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback
A The acid-base system is regulated by chemical buffering, respiratory control of
carbon dioxide, and renal regulation of bicarbonate and secretion of hydrogen
ions.
B Both the kidneys and the lungs, along with the buffering system, contribute to
acid-base balance. Neither system regulates acid or base balances exclusively.
C The cardiovascular and integumentary systems are not part of acid-base
regulation in the body.
D Chemical buffers, the lungs, and the kidneys work together to keep the blood pH
within normal range.

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).
