Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Because of the greater density of breast tissue, mammography is less sensitive in younger women, which may result in more false-negative results.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Otitis media is usually caused by an upper respiratory infection with gram-negative bacteria, such as Proteus, Klebsiella, and Pseudomonas. In addition, allergy, exposure to cigarette smoke, mycoplasma, and several viruses may be factors.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
