QUESTION 1
1. Select the period of time after most recent use that THC (marijuana)
can be detectedin urine specimens.
A 7-12
. hours
B 36-72
. hours
C
3 days
.
D
2-7 days
.
,Answer:
C.
Step-by-Step explanation
Answer: 3 days
A drug detection window is the amount of time that a drug may be detected in a biological sample
for instance urine, blood, breath, or oral secretions. The presence of the significant THC-COOH
> LOQ implies that the individual was exposed to THC within 3 days of a single usage, up to
30 days in strong chronic users.

C

D

Answer:
The correct answer is (A). Transcranial magnetic stimulation.
, Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive procedure that uses
magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to improve symptoms of depression.
When other depression therapies have failed, TMS is commonly employed.
Repeating TMS or rTMS, is a therapy for depression that includes the delivery of
repetitive magnetic pulses.
An electromagnetic coil is placed on your scalp near your forehead during
a rTMS session.
The electromagnet emits a painless magnetic pulse that activates nerve cells in the
part ofyour brain that controls mood and sadness.
It's supposed to stimulate brain areas that are less active in depressed people.
Though the biochemistry of why rTMS works isn't fully known the stimulation appears
to change the way the brain function which appears to alleviate depressive symptoms
and enhance mood.
