Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
As the effects of rheumatic fever affect the central nervous system, the child may develop Sydenham's chorea, manifested by involuntary, purposeless movements of the limbs.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Because the right side of the heart must take over pumping blood to both the lungs and systemic circulation, the ductus arteriosus must remain open to shunt the oxygenated blood from the lungs.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
