Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C
Common risk factors for cholelithiasis include hyperlipidemia, obesity, pregnancy, use of birth control pills, infection, bile stasis, congenital anomalies, use of total parenteral nutrition, and family history. Native Americans and Hispanics of both genders have the highest rate of this disease according to ethnicity. Pancreatitis is the most common complication of cholelithiasis. Smoking is not related.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D, E
Omphalitis is infection of the umbilical cord stump. Prevention methods include keeping the area clean and dry, cleansing the umbilical stump with the recommended solution, and positioning the baby's diaper below the level of the umbilicus. The other three interventions are not related to preventing omphalitis.

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.
