Answer to Question 1

C
Right-sided heart failure leads to edema from systemic backup. Wheezing, orthopnea, and pallor are indicative of left-sided failure.

Answer to Question 2

C
TSS is a rare and potentially fatal disorder caused by strains of Staphylococcus aureus that pro-duce toxins that cause shock, coagulation defects, and tissue damage if they enter the blood-stream. It is associated with the trapping of bacteria within the reproductive tract for a prolonged time. Risk factors include the prolonged use of high-absorbency tampons, cervical caps, or di-aphragms.
