Answer to Question 1

C
Findings of tachycardia, hypotension, diaphoresis, restlessness, and diminished urinary output indicate impending hypovolemic shock. Bradycardia is a decreased pulse rate. Dry skin is not an indicator of hypovolemic shock. Hypertension is an increase in blood pressure.

Answer to Question 2

A
If the patient is found to have impacted cerumen, instill 1 to 2 drops of mineral oil or over-the-counter softener into the ear twice a day for 2 to 3 days before irrigation, to loosen cerumen and ensure easier removal during irrigation. The greatest danger during administration of ear irrigation is rupture of the tympanic membrane. Fluids must not be instilled under pressure or with the irrigating device occluding the ear canal. Always attempt to remove foreign objects in the ear by first simply straightening the ear canal. Cerumen, however, is wax buildup and is not a foreign object.

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs.

Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
