Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Heparin is the standard therapy for venous thromboembolic disease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Chest CT with intravenous contrast has become the principal diagnostic imaging modality to evaluate suspected PE. The reported sensitivity of helical computed tomography ranges from 53 to 100 and the specificity ranges from 81 to 100. Studies indicate that helical CT scanning detects large PEs involving main and lobar emboli. However, this test generally is una-ble to detect smaller PEs.
