Answer to Question 1

B
The parent should be told to keep the tooth moist by placing it in saline solution, water, milk, or a commercial tooth-preserving solution and get the child evaluated as soon as possible. The parent may replace the tooth incorrectly so it is best not to advise the parent to put the tooth back in the child's mouth. Cleaning or scrubbing the tooth could damage it. It is essential for the child to have an immediate dental evaluation.

Answer to Question 2

B
When hearing loss is caused by malformations, auditory nerve damage, or infection the loss is usually permanent. Damage caused by inflammation or obstruction usually causes a temporary and reversible hearing loss. A central type of hearing loss usually causes difficulties in differentiating sounds and problems with auditory memory and it is reversible. Nonconductive hearing loss is commonly reversed with surgery or medication.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
