NSC 260 Exam 1 questions with actualanswers.

should help you to 'get your feet we' with database searching. The number of results you get initially
may be overwhelming, so it's important to remember that the filers are there, and how to use them.
The filters in these questions are just examples, and are not meant to represent how you should
approach every search. In the search box, type 'beta carotene smokers'.

Let's try some filters. On the left side, click on 'free full text' under text availability, and 'clinical trial'
under article type. How many results do you have now? ANS - ~69
Click on 'additional filters' and then choose human under 'species', english under 'language' and age 45+

The next 8 questions require the following instructions and background:
Navigate to the UA library in another window at: https://new.library.arizona.edu/ Next, click on 'see all
databases' then click on 'p'. Scroll to the bottom and click on the pubmed link that says 'UA/HSL' next to
it. The public pubmed from question #1 above is good - but won't offer as many full text articles as the
version of pubmed through the UA library. (As a UA student, you pay a library fee each semester that
allows you this special access.) It's important that you understand how to navigate this page to maximize
full-text availability. And even if what you are looking for isn't here, you can request that the library
obtain a full text for you through inter-library loan at no charge. Let me know if you'd like more info on
that.)

anxiety into the first search box and then click on 'search'. How many results do you get here? (Note -
this is meant to be an example of how to cross reference a topic in another database. Pubmed is the one
