Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Poorer overall health status is attributed to impaired access to health care providers and services coupled with other rural factors. Rural residents seek medical care less often, are usually seen by a general practitioner, and are more likely to identify a usual source of medical care.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Rural communities have a higher-than-average number of residents under 18 years of age and over 65 years of age compared with an urban setting. Rural residents 18 years of age and older are more likely to be, or have been, married than their urban counterparts. As a group, rural adults are more likely to be widowed and have fewer years of formal education than urban adults.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels.
