Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The potential problem is infection from contaminated equipment.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Routine follow-up visits by a respiratory therapist help to ensure the success of patient manage-ment within the home. Equipment must be checked and cleaned as necessary. The patient's status should be carefully assessed and appropriate recommendations for change should be made to the primary or prescribing physician. Any prescribed respiratory therapy should be administered dur-ing the visit and all necessary supply items left with the patient's caregivers. After each visit, a report form must be completed and kept on record as part of the documentation process.

Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.

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).
