Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, C, D
The overuse of antibiotics and inappropriate use, such as not completing prescriptions and sharing antibiotics, has led to increased resistance. Taking antibiotics as prescribed helps to ensure the infection will be treated correctly.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
The elderly are at an increased risk for respiratory infections as a result of decreased cough reflex, decreased elastic recoil of the lungs, decreased activity of the cilia, and abnormal swallowing reflex. They do not generally have increased sputum production.
