Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The P50 can be derived by using the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve to look for the PaO2 at 50 hemoglobin saturation. The HCO3 is derived from measurements of pH and PaCO2 by using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation. The saturation of hemoglobin can be calculated by using an equation empirically derived from the oxyhemoglobin saturation curve. The pH is measured di-rectly by using a Sanz electrode, and the PaO2 is measured directly by using a Clark electrode.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
P50 is a convenient way of describing hemoglobin affinity for oxygen because it identifies the PO2 in millimeters of mercury when hemoglobin is 50 saturated with oxygen.

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.

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.
