Answer to Question 1

C

Feedback

C Correct. Children with bacterial pneumonia are treated with antibiotics.
D Incorrect. Children with aspiration pneumonia are not treated with antibiotics, as they are not efficacious. In this instance, the appropriate treatment is mechanical, i.e., immediate suctioning to remove the aspirated debris and the administration of 100 oxygen.
