In 2009, a flu pandemic was believed to have originated when viral transmission occurred from pig to human, thereby earning the designation, "swine flu." although pigs are thought to have been the breeding ground for the 2009 virus, sequences from bird, pig, and human viruses were all found within this newly identified virus. what is the most likely explanation of why this virus contained sequences from bird, pig, and human viruses? a) the virus was descended from a common ancestor of bird, pig, and human flu viruses.b) the infected individuals happened to be infected with all three virus types.c) related viruses can undergo genetic recombination if the rna genomes mix and match during viral assembly.d) the human was likely infected with various bacterial strains that contained all three rna viruses.

A92-year-old man with a 45-year history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is intubated in the icu because of a bout of viral pneumonia that fails to improve after 72 hours of antibiotics. although the inspired fraction of oxygen is 100%, the patient's po2 remains at 57 mmhg. positive-end expiratory pressure (peep) is added to allow the inspired fraction of oxygen. twelve hours after the introduction of peep the patient suddenly become hypotensive. at the same time, his oxygen saturation drops from 92% to 61%. on physical examination, his bp is 80/50 mmhg and his pulse is 124/min. he has distended neck veins and distant heart sounds. which of the following would also most likely be seen on this patient's physical examination? - absence of breath sounds in the right hemithorax- high amplitude carotid artery upstroke- a pleural friction rub- pulsus alternans- splenomegaly
