Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Because bronchiolitis and childhood asthma have similar symptoms, a trial course of bronchodi-lator therapy with a beta agonist may be useful if airway obstruction is relieved after administra-tion. This practice is controversial, and practitioners should assess the efficacy of all bronchodi-lator therapy before continuing.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Croup is a viral disorder of the upper airway that normally results in subglottic swelling and ob-struction. Termed laryngotracheobronc hitis, viral croup is usually caused by the parainfluenza vi-rus and is the most common form of airway obstruction in children between 6 months and 6 years of age.
