Answer to Question 1

B
The ileostomy is higher in the GI tract and drains semi-liquid stool. The ileostomy is very similar in appearance to the colostomy, may not be permanent, and needs a pouch.

Answer to Question 2

C
The nurse's back can be well protected when he or she bends knees and hips.

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).
