Answer to Question 1

A
Gout, a disorder of purine metabolism that leaves uric acid deposits in connective tissue, joint spaces, or both, affects primarily middle-aged men. Gout can be a primary (inherited), secondary (resulting from another disease or medication), or idiopathic disease. Manifestations include abrupt onset of pain in a joint (the great toe is most often affected) that becomes swollen, tender, and red; tophi (subcutaneous nodules of uric acid crystals) may develop in various parts of the body.

Answer to Question 2

D
Disaster triage systems are used in the event of a community disaster, either natural or man-made. A different approach to categorizing clients is required because of the potential for large numbers of casualties. Immediate care is given to clients with simple injuries requiring immediate care. Delayed care is provided for clients with multiple injuries requiring extensive care. Minimal care is given to clients with minor injuries. Expectant care is provided for clients with severe injuries likely to lead to death.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
