Answer to Question 1

Answer: B

The typical clinical presentation of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) bronchiolitis in otherwise healthy children begins 3-5 days after exposure to the virus. The early signs of a mild infection include rhinorrhea or a runny nose, cough, irritability, and a low-grade fever for 1-3 days. A fever is not associated with the common cold. A runny nose and cough are not symptoms associated with meningitis. Bronchitis has a distinctive cough and may or may not be associated with a fever.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Although one or the other may dominate, COPD typically includes components of both chronic bronchitis and emphysema, two distinctly different processes. Although the COPD complex can also include asthma, small airways disease, and narrowing of small bronchioles, it is more commonly known to include bronchitis and emphysema.
