Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, D
A VSD is the most common congenital heart defect and is one of the mildest forms. The murmur of a VSD is harsh, pansystolic, and heard best at the lower left sternal border. Some VSDs can close spontaneously; those that need invasive closure must be surgically repaired. Presently, transcatheter closure is not available.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C, D
Right-sided heart failure occurs with pulmonic stenosis. Manifestations include hepatomegaly (enlarged liver) and puffy eyelids. Cough and dyspnea are more likely due to left-sided heart failure. Retractions can occur with respiratory distress despite the cause.

Hippocrates noted that blood separates into four differently colored liquids when removed from the body and examined: a pure red liquid mixed with white liquid material with a yellow-colored froth at the top and a black substance that settles underneath; he named these the four humors (for blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile).
