Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
See Table 43-2. The most suitable airway clearance method for infants is postural drainage, per-cussion, and vibration (PDPV) therapy.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Adding exercise to mobilization and coughing can further enhance mucus clearance. Exercise al-so improves overall aeration and ventilation-perfusion matching. Besides increasing sputum pro-duction, it can also improve pulmonary function. In addition, exercise can improve a patient's general fitness, self-esteem, and quality-of-life. On the other hand, exercise can be fatiguing and result in oxygen desaturation among patients with significant pulmonary impairment.

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).

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).
