Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The nurse should identify recent influenza as the physical causative factor of stress. Anxiety related to peer pressure or finances is a psychological causative factor of stress.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
When chronic tonsillitis is present, the client experiences difficulty in swallowing. Tonsillectomy is generally advised for enlarged, bacteria-loaded tonsils. Headache, swelling, and pain behind the ear, and difficulty in breathing unless sitting upright are not symptoms of tonsillitis.

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).

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.
