Answer to Question 1

B
Only registered dietitians meet these professional standards. Clinical nutritionists have a masters or doctoral degree in nutrition but do not have the other credentials. A registered nurse does not have in-depth clinical nutrition, food science, and food service training. Certified home econo-mists do not have clinical nutrition training.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Aspiration pneumonia can be the result of liquids getting into the lungs. This is common with vomiting or aphagia. Increased mucus production could be the result of the body trying to remove whatever was in the respiratory tract. Aphasia is difficulty speaking. COPD could be a chronic condition that accompanies aspiration pneumonia but is seldom the cause.

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.
