Answer to Question 1

B
Tighten the stomach muscles and tuck the pelvis; this provides balance and protects the back. Bend at the knees; this helps to maintain the nurse's center of gravity and lets the strong muscles of the legs do the lifting. Keep the weight to be lifted as close to the body as possible; this action places the weight in the same plane as the lifter and close to the center of gravity for balance.

Answer to Question 2

B
B. Disposable sensor padcan be applied to a variety of sites: earlobe of adult; nose bridge, palm, or sole of infant; less restrictive for continuous SpO2 monitoring; expensive; contains latex; skin under adhesive may become moist and harbor pathogens; available in variety of sizes; pad can be matched to infant weight

For about 100 years, scientists thought that peptic ulcers were caused by stress, spicy food, and alcohol.

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.
