Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The peritoneal cavity is insufflated with CO2 to an intraoperative pressure of 12 to 15 mm Hg to create the working space. Obese patients may need higher insufflation pressures to counteract the weight of the abdominal wall. The circulating nurse monitors this pressure during insufflation; it should not fall below 8 mm Hg. The intraperitoneal pressure should remain at 15 mm Hg for the average adult patient.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
A diagnostic laparoscope permits viewing of anatomic structures. Operating laparoscopes can be rigid, rigid hollow, or flexible and have a working channel for instruments. They can be used to visualize anatomic structures in procedures such as laparoscopy, gynecology, bronchoscopy, and sigmoidoscopy.

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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
