Answer to Question 1

B
General care includes proper stabilization, administration of oxygen therapy, and ruling out other serious conditions.

Answer to Question 2

D
A weakened immune system can make the patient less able to naturally fight off an infection. The chronic damage found with COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease emphysema and chronic bronchitis) makes the lungs and airways more prone to infection and less able to recover from infection. Heart disease can adversely affect lung function and decrease oxygen delivery to the body. Marfan's syndrome is not associated with pneumonia or lung function.
