Answer to Question 1

D
First-priority activities pertain to life-threatening or potentially life-threatening conditions and are the highest level for prioritization of nursing tasks. These tasks include assessment, monitoring, and intervention (per the prescribed treatment plan) of the patient's ABCs (airway-breathing-circulation). Second-priority activities include those that are essential to the patient's safety, such as providing assistance during patient transfers. Third-priority activities are concerned with comfort and teaching. There is no fourth priority noted.

Answer to Question 2

B
Acceptance

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).
