Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Pneumococcal vaccination is indicated for all individuals older than the age of 65 years and for those older than the age of 2 years who have functional or anatomical asplenia. Vaccination is also indicated in patients with chronic illnesses such as CHF, chronic lung disease, chronic liver disease, alcoholism, cerebrospinal fluid leaks, or conditions characterized by impaired immunity. Routine pneumococcal vaccination of all health care workers is not currently recommended, un-less they possess one of the specific indications for vaccination outlined previously.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Immunization for community-acquired pneumonia is indicated for individuals: older than the age of 60 years, with chronic lung or heart disease, or for whom the morbidity of influenza may be substantial. Health care workers, including RTs, should be immunized annually to prevent trans-mission of influenza to patients.
