Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Seasonal rhinitis usually occurs when the upper airways become inflamed because of the body's response to an inhaled antigen. The lungs do not collapse and the sympathetic system's response to stress usually opens the airways and does not cause inflammation. Bacteria entering the nose do not cause inflammation of the rest of the upper airways.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Lifestyle changes are encouraged in all four steps and should be advocated for the maintenance of good health. These changes are stressed in steps 1 and 2 in the hope that drug therapy will not be necessary. However, these changes should occur in steps 3 and 4 as well.
