Answer to Question 1

C
Lateral neck x-ray findings of a patient with LTB can include the pencil point or steeple point sign indicating narrowing of the upper airway. Haziness in the subglottic area may also be seen. The thumb sign is an indication of a swollen epiglottis.

Answer to Question 2

A
If the pneumothorax is the result of an internal lung injury (in this case probably from the sharp edge of the broken rib), it is called a closed pneumothorax.

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.
