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.
