Answer to Question 1

3
High-risk groups for acquiring pneumonia are people with diabetes, infants 6- to 23-months old, and those with a chronic illness such as sickle-cell anemia. Menopause and abdominal pain are not symptoms associated with pneumonia. Fever in a 3-year-old client could be caused by many disorders and not necessarily pneumonia.

Answer to Question 2

3, 4, 5, 6
Assessment findings consistent with peritonsillar abscess include: hot potato voice; trismus, or difficulty fully opening the mouth; dysphagia, or painful swallowing; and sore throat. Bradypnea and drop in blood pressure are not assessment findings consistent with peritonsillar abscess.
