Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

Both increased and decreased urine output can be markers of heart failure, as can changes in mental status not attributable to other factors. While heart auscultation, pedal pulses, and activity tolerance are relevant parameters, integumentary inspection, pupil response, and pain assessment are less likely to be relevant assessment components.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Hospital-acquired pneumonia is defined as a lower respiratory tract infection that was not present or incubating on admission to the hospital. Usually, infections occurring 48 hours or more after admission are considered hospital acquired. Community-acquired pneumonia is diagnosed within 48 hours after admission. Most hospital-acquired pneumonia is bacterial.
