Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
As with younger adults, smoking cessation confers a multitude of health benefits, especially with regard to respiratory and cardiovascular health. Lung cancer screening and tuberculosis screening are less likely to benefit large numbers of participants. Bronchitis is not a health problem that is amenable to immunization.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Dysphagia creates a serious risk for aspiration pneumonia. Smoking, cancer, and sleep apnea do not have a direct correlation with aspiration pneumonia.
