Answer to Question 1

D
Inhaled tobramycin can cause tinnitus but does not cause hearing loss. Hoarseness is a common side effect. An intravenous aminoglycoside can cause hearing loss and is not used chronically for cystic fibrosis. Hearing loss will not occur with inhaled tobramycin. Inhaled tobramycin does not increase the risk of renal toxicity.

Answer to Question 2

Great help.

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.
