Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Feedback:
A healthy diet, relaxation techniques, and control of diabetes and hypertension can all promote healthy immune function. Pneumococcal vaccination is only required once in an individual's lifetime and not all older adults require hepatitis vaccination. Cortisol is deleterious rather than beneficial.

Answer to Question 2

C
A possible danger from the thoracentesis procedure is removing fluid too rapidly; less than 1,300 to 1,500 mL at one time is recommended.
