Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The organism that causes tuberculosis is a bacterium. Tuberculosis is not a fungus, a virus, or a parasite.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
PE most commonly results from embolization of a clot from deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in-volving the lower leg; thus, preventing these will help prevent pulmonary emboli. Oxygen will neither prevent emboli nor check hemoglobin and hematocrit.
Fluid intake will help, but it is not as important as preventing DVT.
