Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) involves the systematic administration of drugs that affect the cardiovascular system. CPR does not involve the administration of medication and defibrillation relies on electrical stimulation rather than pharmacological interventions. Rapid cardiac assessment is not a discrete component of the Chain of Survival.

Answer to Question 2

C
Pulmonary edema occurs when serous fluid shifts rapidly into pulmonary interstitial tissue and alveoli, severely impairing gas exchange; this condition is life-threatening.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved. Certain triggers may cause a drug abuser to relapse. Research shows that long-term drug abuse results in significant changes in brain function that persist long after an individual stops using drugs. It is most important to realize that the same is true of not just illegal substances but alcohol and tobacco as well.

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.
