Answer to Question 1

B
Ventricular septal defects are the most common of the congenital disorders and account for almost half of all congenital heart disease.

Answer to Question 2

E
The lateral decubitus radiograph is useful in the diagnosis of a suspected or known fluid accumulation in the pleural space (i.e., a pleural effusion) that is not easily seen in the PA radiograph. A pleural effusion, which is usually more thinly spread out over the diaphragm in the upright position, collects in the gravity-dependent areas while the patient is in the lateral decubitus position, allowing the fluid to be more readily seen.
