Answer to Question 1

D
Nurses should be sensitive to the effect of noise on clients' rest and recovery and take precautions to reduce noise pollution that may lead to sensory overload.

Answer to Question 2

B
Tachycardia is an abnormally elevated heart rate, greater than 100 beats per minute in adults. Bradycardia is a slow rate, less than 60 beats per minute in adults; 120 to 160 beats per minute is a normal heart rate for an infant. The normal heart rate for an adult is 60 to 100 beats per minute.

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).
