Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
A three-point calibration should be performed every 6 months or whenever an electrode is re-placed. A two-point calibration is usually performed at least three times daily, typically every 8 hours. In many cases, analyzers can be programmed to perform a two-point calibration at prede-termined intervals. The one-point calibration involves adjusting the electronic output to a single, known standard and should be performed before an unknown sample is analyzed, unless the an-alyzer is programmed to perform a one-point calibration automatically at regular intervals, such as every 20 to 30 minutes. Quality control is the system that includes the analysis of control samples and assessment of the measurements against defined limits, identification of problems, and spec-ification of corrective actions.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The sensors used for electrolyte measurements are ion-selective electrodes. A Clark electrode is used to measure the partial pressure of oxygen in the blood. A polarographic electrode is a Clark electrode. Glucose-oxidase is an enzyme that is used to coat the ion-selective electrode used to measure glucose.

Though methadone is often used to treat dependency on other opioids, the drug itself can be abused. Crushing or snorting methadone can achieve the opiate "rush" desired by addicts. Improper use such as these can lead to a dangerous dependency on methadone. This drug now accounts for nearly one-third of opioid-related deaths.

Pink eye is a term that refers to conjunctivitis, which is inflammation of the thin, clear membrane (conjunctiva) over the white part of the eye (sclera). It may be triggered by a virus, bacteria, or foreign body in the eye. Antibiotic eye drops alleviate bacterial conjunctivitis, and antihistamine allergy pills or eye drops help control allergic conjunctivitis symptoms.
