Question 1 Newtons surprising success at developing the laws of motion, as well as the development
Incorrect and refinement of other physical laws, led to the idea of scientific determinism. The first
expression of this principle was in the beginning of the nineteenth century by Laplace, a
Mark 0.00 out of
French scientist. Laplace argued that if one knew the position and velocity of all the
1.00
particles in the universe at a given time, the laws of physics would be able to predict the
future state of the universe.
Scientific determinism held sway over a great many scientists until the early twentieth
century, when the quantum mechanics revolution occurred. Quantum mechanics introduced
the world to the idea of the uncertainty principle, which stated that it was impossible to
accurately measure both the position and the velocity of a particle at one time. Because
Laplaces omniscience could never occur, even in theory, the principle of scientific
determinism was thrown into doubt. However, quantum mechanics does allow for a reduced
form of scientific determinism. Even though physicists are unable to know precisely where a
particle is and what its velocity is, they can determine certain probabilities about its position
and velocity. These probabilities are called wave functions. By use of a formula known as
the Schrodinger equation, a scientist with the wave function of a particle at a given time can
calculate the particles future wave function. These calculations can give the particles
position or velocity, but not both. Thus, the physicist is in possession of exactly half of the
information needed to satisfy Laplaces view of determinism. Unfortunately, under modern
physics theories, that is far as any researcher can go in predicting the future.
According to the passage, wave functions:
Select one:
a. threw the proposition of scientific determinism into doubt

Question 5 In order to reduce the number of items damaged while in transit to customers, packaging
Incorrect consultants recommended that the TrueSave mail order company increase the amount of

Mark 0.00 out of
instructed the companys packers to use more packing material than before, and the
1.00
packers zealously acted on these instructions and used as much as they could.
Nevertheless, customer reports of damaged items rose somewhat.
Which ofthe following, if true, mosthelps to explain why acting onthe consultants
recommendation failed to achieve its goal?
Select one:
a. When packing material is compressed too densely, it loses some of its capacityto
absorb shock.
b. Most of the goods that TrueSave shipsare electronic products that are highly
vulnerable to being damaged in transit.
c. True Save has lost some of its regular customers as a result of the high number of
damaged items they received
d. The change in packing policy ledto an increase in expenditure on packing material
and labor.
e. The amount of packing material used in a carton does not significantly influence
the ease with which a customer can unpack the package.
The correct answer is: When packing material is compressed too densely, it loses some of
its capacityto absorb shock.

Question 6 A fundamental principle of pharmacology is that all drugs have multiple actions. Actions that
Incorrect are desirable in the treatment of disease are considered therapeutic, while those that are
undesirable or pose risks to the patient are called effects. Adverse drug effects range from
Mark 0.00 out of
the trivial, e.g., nausea or dry mouth, to the serious, e.g., massive gastrointestinal bleeding
1.00
or thromboembolism; and some drugs can be lethal. Therefore, an effective system for the
detection of adverse drug effects is an important component of the health care system of
any advanced nation. Much of the research conducted on new drugs aims at identifying the
conditions of use that maximize beneficial effects and minimize the risk of adverse
effects.The intent of drug labeling is to reflect this body of knowledge accurately so that
physicians can properly prescribe the drug; or, if it is to be sold without prescription, so that
consumers can properly use the drug.The current system of drug investigation in the United
States has proved very useful and accurate in identifying the common side effects
associated with new prescription drugs. By the time a new drug is approved by the Food
and Drug Administration, its side effects are usually well described in the package insert for
physicians. The investigational process, however, cannot be counted on to detect all
adverse effects because of the relatively small number of patients involved in premarketing
studies and the relatively short duration of the studies.Animal toxicology studies are, of
course, done prior to marketing in an attempt to identify any potential for toxicity, but
negative results do not guarantee the safety of a drug in humans, as evidenced by such
well known examples as the birth deformities due to thalidomide. This recognition prompted
the establishment in many countries of programs to which physicians report adverse drug
effects. The United States and other countries also send reports to an international program
operated by the World Health Organization. These programs, however, are voluntary
reporting programs and are intended to serve a limited goal alerting a government or private
agency to adverse drug effects detected by physicians in the course of practice. Other
approaches must be used to confirm suspected drug reactions and to estimate incidence
rates. These other approaches include conducting retrospective control studies; for
example, the studies associating endometrial cancer with estrogen use, and systematic
monitoring of hospitalized patients to determine the incidence of acute common side effects,
as typified by the Boston Collaborative Drug Surveillance Program.Thus, the overall drug
surveillance system of the United States is composed of a set of information bases, special
studies, and monitoring programs, each contributing in its own way to our knowledge about
marketed drugs. The system is decentralized among a number of governmental units and is
not administered as a coordinated function. Still, it would be inappropriate at this time to
attempt to unite all of the disparate elements into a comprehensive surveillance program.
Instead, the challenge is to improve each segment of the system and to take advantage of
new computer strategies to improve coordination and communication.
The author is most probably leading up to a discussion of some suggestions about how to:
Select one:
a. eliminate the availability and sale of certain drugs now on the market
