Answer to Question 1

A
Blood-streaked sputumfrequently with a dry, hacking coughis a sign of tuberculosis.

Answer to Question 2

D
Responses A, B, and C are inappropriate and do not recognize the man's cultural differences. For many Hispanics, time is a relative concept, and minimal attention is given to the exact time of day.
