Answer to Question 1

B
Hospice services are provided to those in their final phase of life. Care is provided to both the patient and the family members. Palliative care is not curative.

Answer to Question 2

B

Feedback
A Incorrect. Pulmonary stenosis decreases pulmonary blood flow by shunting unoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the left. There is a mixing of oxygenated and unoxygenated blood in the systemic circulation. These infants are hypoxic and cyanotic.
B Correct. Patent ductus arteriosus increases pulmonary blood flow. Defects that increase pulmonary blood flow are caused by a shunting of the blood from the left side of the heart to the right side through an abnormal connection (left to right shunt). These infants exhibit clinical manifestations of congestive heart failure.
C Incorrect. Pulmonary atresia decreases pulmonary blood flow, resulting in unoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the left. There is a mixing of oxygenated and unoxygenated blood in the systemic circulation. These infants are hypoxic and cyanotic.
D Incorrect. Tetralogy of Fallot decreases pulmonary blood flow, resulting in unoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the left. There is a mixing of oxygenated and unoxygenated blood in the systemic circulation. These infants are hypoxic and cyanotic.

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.
