QUESTION 1
1. Select the period of time after most recent use that THC
(marijuana) can be detectedin urine specimens.
A 7-12
. hours

. 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.

• 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.
