Answer to Question 1

C
Explanation: Bell's palsy is characterized by one-sided facial paralysis. Alzheimer's disease is characterized by progressive disorientation, apathy, speech and gait disturbances, and loss of memory. Reye's syndrome is characterized by encephalopathy and organ damage and is associated with aspirin use in children. Parkinson's disease is characterized by fine tremors, muscular weakness, rigidity, and a shuffling gait.

Answer to Question 2

C
Explanation: Excretory urography involves injecting dye into the bloodstream and then taking X-rays to trace the action of the kidney as it excretes the dye. Cystography is the process of placing dye in the bladder by catheter and taking an X-ray. Retrograde pyelogram is a diagnostic X-ray in which dye is inserted through the urethra to outline the bladder, ureters, and renal pelvis. Renography is not a diagnostic procedure listed.

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.
