Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Patterns of urinary elimination depend on the integrity of the spinal cord as well as physiologic, emotional, and social factors. Diminished bladder capacity, relaxation of pelvic floor muscle tone, and degenerative changes in the cerebral cortex are age-related changes that increase the risk of incontinence and lead to urinary urgency, respectively, in older adults.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Tube-feeding administration sets are replaced every 24 hours regardless of the feeding schedule.

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).

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
