Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The causative pathogens implicated in otitis media include Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Moraxella catarrhalis. They enter the middle ear as a result of an alteration in the eustachian tube, not from the inner ear, external ear, or interstitial spaces.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Diarrhea secondary to HIV/AIDS is an indication for treatment with octreotide. Laxative abuse, IBS, and E. coli infections would likely be treated with alternative antidiarrheal medications.

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.
