Answer to Question 1

electrons are removed

Rationale: An atom may become ionized when it gains or loses an electron. During ionization, electrons removed from the energy shells will result in a positively charged atom.

Answer to Question 2

the left shoulder was positioned closer to the IR than the right

Rationale: Evidence of the left SC joint being closer to the midline than the right indicates the patient's left shoulder was positioned closer to the IR than the right.
