Answer to Question 1

1. Records several physiologic parameters during sleep

Rationale:
The polysomnogram records physiologic parameters such as brain waves and eye movements during sleep. The multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) occurs 2 hours after awakening from the overnight sleep study. Nap trials are part of the MSLT. The polysomnogram does not require a 24-hour sleep deprivation.

Answer to Question 2

2. Ineffective Tissue Perfusion

Rationale:
Ineffective tissue perfusion is a priority nursing diagnosis for a client with hypoxemia. Without the adequate perfusion of tissues with oxygen, the client will not be able to tolerate activity or manage the therapeutic regimen. The assessment findings do not state that the client has a productive cough, so ineffective airway clearance may or may not be appropriate at this time.

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).
