Answer to Question 1

A
Bracing is the primary treatment for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS).

Answer to Question 2

E
Common abnormal causes of sinus tachycardia include hypoxemia, severe anemia, hyperthermia, massive hemorrhage, pain, fear, anxiety, hyperthyroidism, and sympathomimetic or parasympatholytic drug administration. Beta blocker medication may lead to sinus bradycardia, not sinus tachycardia.
