Answer to Question 1

1, 3, 5
Criteria for the pneumococcus vaccination include high-risk groups such as people over age 65, diagnosed with chronic heart disease, and diagnosed with asthma. Age 55, recovering from knee replacement surgery; and recovering from an appendectomy are not criteria for the pneumococcus vaccination.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Specific symptoms suggestive of pneumonia include fever, chills or rigor, sweats, new cough (with or without sputum), pleuritic chest pain, and dyspnea. Nonspecific symptoms include malaise, fatigue, abdominal pain, headaches, anorexia, and worsening of an underlying illness. Frequent wiping of the nose is a sign of allergic rhinitis.
