Answer to Question 1

D
Tinea capitis is commonly known as ringworm of the scalp. Microsporum audouinii is the major fungal pathogen.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Hard candy and other sweets increase secretions, thereby helping make the cough productive. Blowing the nose, resting, or using aerosol medication will not help increase secretions.
