Answer to Question 1

D
When a thrombus develops in a coronary artery and blocks the blood supply to a part of the heart muscle, a heart attack (myocardial infarction) occurs. Cerebrovascular accident (stroke) occurs when a thrombus blocks an artery in the brain. Deep vein thrombosis occurs when a clot blocks a deep vein, such as a leg vein. Pulmonary embolus occurs when an embolus blocks blood flow in an artery in the lungs.

Answer to Question 2

A
Topical corticosteroid use usually has no systemic effects. The skin exposed to the topical corticosteroid becomes thinner and more fragile, especially in an older adult. This area is at greater risk for injury and loss of integrity.

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.
