Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Ego is the reality tester. Laughing at oneself shows that the patient can compare his own foolish behavior to the norm.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Rapid respirations predispose to aspiration. The child is kept hydrated with IV fluids, but this is not the reason that the child must be kept NPO.

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.
