Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A The angle of injection for an intradermal injection is 5 to 15 degrees.
B The correct angle for an intradermal injection is not 30 degrees.
C Subcutaneous injections may be administered at a 45-degree angle.
D Subcutaneous or intramuscular injections may be administered at a 90-degree angle.

Answer to Question 2

A

Feedback
A Inflation pressure averages 40 mm Hg.
B Initial measurement is made around the largest part of the patient's thigh.
C A protective stockinette is placed over the patient's leg. Then the stocking is wrapped around the leg, starting at the ankle, with the opening over the patella.
D Stockings are not removed every hour. For optimal results, sequential compression or intermittent pneumatic compression devices are used as soon as possible and maintained until the patient becomes fully ambulatory. The stockings should be removed periodically to assess the condition of the patient's skin.

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).
