Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Sodium and calcium are electrolytes. P50 is the partial pressure of oxygen at 50 saturation. HHb is deoxygenated hemoglobin, and HCO3 is bicarbonate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Find 80 mm Hg on the x-axis of the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve, and draw a straight ver-tical line up to the dissociation curve. Then from that point, draw a horizontal line across to the y-axis. That will give the saturation.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.

A cataract is a clouding of the eyes' natural lens. As we age, some clouding of the lens may occur. The first sign of a cataract is usually blurry vision. Although glasses and other visual aids may at first help a person with cataracts, surgery may become inevitable. Cataract surgery is very successful in restoring vision, and it is the most frequently performed surgery in the United States.
