Answer to Question 1

D
Persistent coughing, particularly if black mucus is coughed up, is an indicator of an inhalation burn.

Answer to Question 2

Creamy yellow drainage is usually caused by Staphylococcus infections. Proteus is associated with a beige discharge having a fishy odor. Brown discharge having a fecal odor is seen in Bac-teroides. Pseudomonas-containing wounds produce a green-blue discharge with a fruity odor.
