Answer to Question 1

3
Feedback
1. There is no known reason for the development of a hypoplastic left heart.
2. Truncus arteriosus is not linked to use of lithium during pregnancy.
3. Maternal use of lithium has a strong correlation with an Epstein anomaly, which causes the tricuspid valve to be in the right ventricle, along with an enlarged right atrium and cardiomegaly.
4. Cardiomegaly occurs in an Epstein anomaly, but is not the direct defect.

Answer to Question 2

C
A 3-year-old child should have 20 teeth.
