Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Normal heart sounds are created by closure of the heart valves.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
The PMI may shift either left or right, following deviations in the position of the lower medias-tinum, which may be caused by pneumothorax or lobar collapse. Typically, the PMI shifts toward lobar collapse but away from a tension pneumothorax. The PMI in patients with emphysema and low flat diaphragms may be shifted centrally to the epigastric area.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
