Answer to Question 1

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Twenty-four-hour urine tests are often used to quantify the amount of substances, such as proteins, that an individual's kidneys are spilling. Single urine samples are able to assess more parameters than just the presence of bacteria, and they are sufficient in quantity to detect numerous substances such as glucose.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

The majority of croup cases are caused by parainfluenza viruses, and common treatment modalities are humidified air or mist tents as well as supplementary oxygen. Respiratory syncytial virus accounts for some croup diagnoses, but intubation is not normally required. Haemophilus influenza is responsible for epiglottitis, while Staphylococcus aureus is not commonly responsible for croup.
