Answer to Question 1

C, D, E
Feedback:
Symptoms usually associated with acute viral infections include fever, headache, cough, malaise, muscle pain, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, insomnia, and photophobia. White blood cell counts usually remain normal, and bleeding is uncharacteristic.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Strict adherence to timely medication administration promotes optimal blood levels of neostigmine and optimal symptom control. Doses are not typically matched to short-term symptom severity, except in emergencies. Lifestyle modifications and acceptance may be of benefit, but pharmacologic therapy is of paramount importance in the treatment of MG.

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.
