    • 1.
    • 2.
    • 3.
    • 4.
  2. 2. A collection of fluid within the thoracic cavity is known as which one of the following medical conditions?

    • 2.
    • 3.

    • 1.
    • 2.
    • 3.
    • 4.
  4. 4. An emergency cesarean section due to cord disruption was performed in a mother with known heroin abuse.
