Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4
Hoarseness and a breathy voice quality are manifestations of benign vocal cord tumors. The patient with a cold would exhibit additional signs and symptoms. The list of medications and recent travel history would have a rare relevance to this patient's specific complaints.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2
The nasogastric tube is inserted through the unobstructed nare to avoid mucosal trauma. A tube could not be placed through an obstructed nare. The nasal edema may persist for a long period, so waiting would not be appropriate. A tube placed through the mouth would be an orogastric tube.

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.
