Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Another sampling site, such as the brachial artery, should be chosen if the result of a modified Allen test is negative.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A ventricular rate of ninety beats a minute is within normal limits. A premature ventricular beat during the T wave would be immediately after the relative refractory period and could lead to ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation. Saw toothed waves instead of P waves indicate that atrial flutter is present. An increased width of the QRS is associated with any ventricular arrhythmia.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
