Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The chest radiographic findings include enlargement of the main and hilar pulmonary arteries, pruning (or narrowing) of the peripheral arteries, and enlargement of the right ventricle and atrium though the chest radiograph may remain normal in 6 of patients. Pleural effusions are not present.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Physical findings associated with idiopathic pulmonary artery hypertension (IPAH) include a loud second heart sound and a right-sided third or fourth heart sound. Other common signs are a palpable right ventricular heave and impulse of the pulmonary artery and both pulmonary ejection and pulmonary tricuspid regurgitation murmurs. Signs of right ventricular failure are common. Cyanosis often is present as a result of low cardiac output or the presence of an intracardiac right-to-left shunt that occurs as cor pulmonale develops. Clubbing does not occur in IPAH.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
