Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Burns can occur because the site of measurement needs to be heated to between 42 C and 45 C. Repositioning the sensor every 4-6 hours will help avoid this problem.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Exhaled nitric oxide (NO) is currently used as a marker for airway inflammation associated with asthma. Monitoring the level of exhaled NO can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of in-haled corticosteroid in the treatment of asthmatic patients.
