Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
It is vital to check placement immediately on insertion because incorrect placement (e.g., in the esophagus) prohibits oxygenation and can promote gastric distention. With hyperventilation, the person breathes abnormally quickly or deeply, resulting in too little carbon dioxide in the blood. Pneumothorax is the presence of air in the pleural cavity or between the pleura and the chest wall. It may result from trauma or be a complication of chest surgery or chest-tube drainage. Anergy refers to a person being unable to respond to a foreign agent in the bloodstream.

Answer to Question 2

D

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.
