Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Instruments that have been inadequately cleaned between patients before disinfection or sterili-zation are an example of indirect contact transmission involving fomites.

Answer to Question 2

Patients at highest risk include elderly persons, the severely obese, those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or a history of smoking, and those having an artificial airway in place for long periods. Strong cough mechanism actually helps to prevent atelectasis and pneumonia.
