Answer to Question 1

D
Childhood mortality has declined, but the leading cause of death in children is from unintentional injuries, usually motor vehicle accidents.

Answer to Question 2

C
Repair of a coarctation is best done between 3 and 6 years of age. Repair done earlier than that presents a high rate of recurrence. Surgery can be delayed by using an aortic balloon to open the aorta.

It is believed that the Incas used anesthesia. Evidence supports the theory that shamans chewed cocoa leaves and drilled holes into the heads of patients (letting evil spirits escape), spitting into the wounds they made.

Cocaine was isolated in 1860 and first used as a local anesthetic in 1884. Its first clinical use was by Sigmund Freud to wean a patient from morphine addiction. The fictional character Sherlock Holmes was supposed to be addicted to cocaine by injection.
