Answer to Question 1

D
REM sleep usually occurs after about 90 minutes of NREM sleep; during this stage, electroencephalogra m (EEG) patterns are similar to those of waking, heart and respiratory rates are irregular, muscles are flaccid, and eye movements are rapid and associated with dreaming. REM sleep periods become longer as sleep progresses and the person becomes more rested.

Answer to Question 2

B
Invasive treatment devices such as intravenous (IV) catheters or indwelling urinary catheters impair or bypass the body's natural defenses against microorganisms. Because of increased at-tention to the prevention of infection, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2007) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) (1991) have stressed the importance of barrier protection. Efforts to minimize the onset and spread of infection are based on the principles of aseptic technique. Aseptic technique is an effort to keep the patient as free from exposure to infection-causing pathogens as possible. The term asepsis means the absence of disease-producing microorganisms. When a person ages, normal physiological changes occur that influence susceptibility to infection. These changes include decreased immunity, dry mucous membranes, decreased secretions, and decreased elasticity in tissues. Because of these changes, the older adult is predisposed to infections.

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.
