Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Oral decongestants are found in many OTC cold and flu preparations so that care must be taken to avoid inadvertent overdose when more than one such drug is used. Opioids are only available by prescription; stimulants and antitussives are not generally found in OTC combination cold medications.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Fluid may accumulate in the lungs due to left sided heart failure. Patients may evidence dyspnea, tachypnea, and orthopnea. Right-sided failure would include increased jugular venous pressure and liver enlargement. Pulse rate could increase or decrease depending on medications administered.

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.
