Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
With infection, temperature will rise and blood pressure will increase along with pulse and respiratory rate.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The 80-year-old has more risk factors because he is elderly and has increased risk of urinary tract infection related to prostate enlargement, so he has two risk factors. A 24-year-old runner is likely healthy with no additional risk factors. The 50-year-old obese male has one additional risk factor. The 40-year-old sexually active female may not have additional risk factors because she is using protection and does not have multiple partners.
