Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Immediate relief for the patient at this time can be provided by a bronchodilator to help open up the airways and by oxygen to improve the patient's oxygenation status. Intubation and nitric ox-ide therapy can both be administered to people with asthma; however, these approaches are taken when the others do not work for the patient and depend on the severity of the patient's condi-tion.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
