Answer to Question 1

B
A craniotomy or other head surgery does not increase the risk for atelectasis. Thoracic surgery (e.g., open heart surgery) and upper abdominal surgery (e.g., gallbladder removal or splenectomy) increase the risk for atelectasis.

Answer to Question 2

D
As a result of the pulmonary embolus and the increase in pulmonary vascular resistance, the following heart sounds could be expected: increased second heart sound (S2), increased splitting of the second heart sound (S2), and third heart sound (ventricular gallop). The fourth heart sound would not be an expected finding.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
