Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) have established standards for the calibration of blood gas electrodes. A one-point calibration uses a nearly normal pH buffer with a pH of 7.384. A second, lower pH buffer, pH 6.840 is analyzed in the two-point calibration to ensure that the electronic output of the electrode is linear over a wide range of pH levels.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
As a blood sample comes in contact with the measuring electrode of the glucose sensor, the glu-cose oxidase on the surface of the electrode converts the glucose in the sample to hydrogen per-oxide and gluconic acid.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
