Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2, 3, 4
Explanation: Monitoring conducted before and throughout medication therapy with children and adolescents includes the following: physical assessment; lab panels, such as a complete blood count; a baseline electrocardiogram for drugs that may cause cardiac changes. Risperidone has not been associated with significant cognitive problems, or pulmonary function decreases in children or adolescents.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2
Explanation: Early attachment relationships appear to help shape early mental health in children and adolescents and parenting skills can help parents provide a healthy psychological foundation to foster self-confidence and calm to minimize fears and rejection. Mindfulness education teaches stress reduction. Brief solution-focused therapy is therapy directed at achieving a specific goal. Cognitive-behavioral therapy addresses dysfunctional thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.

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).

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.
