Answer to Question 1

D
The front (anterior) surface of the heart lies behind the sternum and costal cartilages. It is formed by portions of the right atrium and the left and right ventricles. However, because the heart is tilted slightly toward the left in the chest, the right ventricle is the area of the heart that lies most directly behind the sternum.

Answer to Question 2

C
Tall, pointed (i.e., peaked) T waves are commonly seen in hyperkalemia.
