Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: Infective endocarditis is treated with intravenous antibiotics for two to eight weeks. It is not contagious, so the child is not placed in contact isolation. Seizures are not a risk of infective endocarditis. A lumbar puncture is not a diagnostic test done for infective endocarditis.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: A child with pulmonary-artery hypertension should have exercise tailored to avoid dyspnea. Golf would require less exertion than soccer, basketball, or cross-country running.
