Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Dibucaine (Nupercainal) is local anesthetic administered topically to the affected area to induce pain relief. It is not absorbed systemically; therefore, it is considered safe during pregnancy. The other amides are not approved for use during pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Osteoporosis results when bone strength is impaired, leading to increased porousness and vulnerability to fracture. Osteoporosis is not a result of fracture. Osteoporosis is partially preventable. Osteoporosis is not limited to the female gender.

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.
