Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Persons with dementia can develop delirium as a response to an acute condition but be undiagnosed because changes are not understood or identified. Both dementia and delirium cause cognitive impairment, but there are significant differences in the two disorders. Dementia causes a progressive, irreversible decline in cognition. Dementia occurs in approximately 5 of the elderly population.

Answer to Question 2

D
Rubin's insufflation test determines tubal patency. Carbon dioxide escapes into the abdominal cavity through the patent left Fallopian tube.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).
