Answer to Question 1

C
C. Using a clean washcloth, wipe in circular motion along length of catheter for about 10 cm (4 inches).
A. Allow slack in catheter so movement does not create tension on catheter.
B. Empty drainage bag and record amounts at least every 8 hours.
D. Drainage bag must be below level of bladder; do not place bag on side rails of bed.

Answer to Question 2

D
D. Before assessment a specially trained technician will conduct a radiation survey of the client, initially conducting a scan of the face, hands, and feet using a radiation survey instrument. If meter results are positive, a thorough survey (5 to 8 minutes per person) is conducted).
A. Wash client's skin thoroughly with water and soap, taking care not to abrade or irritate the skin. Do not allow radioactive material to be incorporated into any wounds.
B. Remove client's clothing; 70 to 90 of contamination should be eliminated by removal of clothing. Use of copious amounts of water is critical in decontamination.
C. Isolate and cover any area of the skin that is still positive for radiation, by using a plastic bag or wrap.

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. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

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).

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
