His mother states that when he is sleeping, Billy experiences (1) difÏcult breathing, starts gasping for air, and then wakes up crying. This is especially true when he has a (2) head cold. The examination of his nasal passages shows a (3) septum displaced to one side, causing impaired airflow through the nostrils. His tonsils and adenoids are also enlarged, making breathing even more difÏcult. The physician schedules a (4) surgical repair of the septum and (5) removal of the tonsils and adenoids. 1. dyspnea 2. coryza 3. deviated nasal septum 4. septoplasty 5. T&A Betty L. presents to the Student Health Services on campus. She complains of (6) muscle pain and (7) headache. Betty states that she was up the entire night with a dry, hacking cough. Upon examination, the physician confirms that Betty has the flu and stated that her headache was probably a result of (8) inflamed sinuses. He further notes an (9) inflammation of the throat without evidence of strep infection. Betty is advised to drink clear fluids and take Tylenol, as needed, to reduce fever and general discomfort. The physician also prescribes Hycodan, a (10) medication to control coughing. 6. myalgia 7. cephalodynia 8. sinusitis 9. pharyngitis 10. antitussive
