Answer to Question 1

C
Because the infant is wet with amniotic fluid and blood, heat loss by evaporation occurs quickly.
Conduction occurs when the infant comes into contact with a cold surface. The crib should be preheated to prevent this from occurring.
Convection occurs when heat is transferred to the air surrounding the infant.
Radiation occurs with the transfer of heat to a cooler object that is not in direct contact with the infant.

Answer to Question 2

A
Although all of these are considerations, parents are usually most concerned about the safety of the fetus.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

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).
