Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
FTT classified according to the pathophysiology of defective utilization is related to a genetic anomaly, congenital infection of metabolic storage disease. Cystic fibrosis would be related to the pathophysiology of inadequate absorption, hyperthyroidism would be related to the pathophysiology of increased metabolism, and breastfeeding problems are related to inadequate caloric intake.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The posttransplant course is complex. The leading cause of death after cardiac transplant is rejection. Infection is a continued risk secondary to the immunosuppression necessary to prevent rejection. Cardiomyopathy is one of the indications for cardiac transplant. Heart failure is not a leading cause of death.
