Answer to Question 1

A
Tympany is a high-pitched, loud-intensity sound heard over air-filled body parts such as the stomach and bowel. Resonance is a low-pitched, low-intensity sound elicited over hollow organs such as the lungs. Flatness is a high-pitched, soft-intensity sound elicited by percussing over solid masses such as bone or muscle. Dullness is a medium-pitched, medium-intensity sound elicited when percussing over high-density structures such as the liver.

Answer to Question 2

C, A, B, D

Sexual maturation in girls begins with the appearance of breast buds (thelarche), which is the first sign of ovarian function. Thelarche occurs at approximately age 8 to 11 years and is followed by the growth of pubic hair. Linear growth slows, and menarche begins approximately 1 year after the peak height velocity (PHV). Ovulation occurs with menarche but may or may not accompany the first 2 years of menarche so it is not established until later.
