Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, E
A lipid panel is often used to screen for cardiovascular risk. Total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels are all high, indicating higher risk for cardiovascular disease. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol is within the normal range for both males and females. Serum albumin is not assessed for atherosclerosis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The aortic valve is auscultated in the second intercostal space just to the right of the sternum.
