Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, E
Causes of sinusitis include allergies, exposure to other sick people (e.g., siblings or children at day care), exposure to cigarette smoke, and exposure to allergens. Eliminating these factors would help decrease the number of episodes of sinusitis, so it is appropriate to ask questions about these topics. Term versus premature birth is not a contributing factor.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B, C
Commonly, mild cases of croup are treated with cool mist. In the hospital setting, oxygen hoods for infants and oxygen tents for toddlers are used. Nebulized racemic epinephrine (Adrenalin) and l-epinephrine are equally effective in inducing mucosal vasoconstriction, with a consequent decrease in subglottic edema, thus relieving the symptoms. Antibiotics are not used in the management of croup, as it is primarily viral in nature. Cool-mist humidifiers should be used rather than warm mist due to the potential for bacterial growth in the warm-mist system.
