Answer to Question 1

B
The most common cause of burns in the home for older patients is scalding from water that is too hot. Patients should either check and reset the temperature themselves or have someone do it for them. The other actions are all helpful, but scalding remains the top cause of burns in the home for this population.

Answer to Question 2

B
Although the major host factor associated with community-acquired pneumonia is advanced age, smoking, alcohol abuse, chronic lung disease, recent history of viral upper respiratory tract in-fection, and neurologic disease are other contributing factors.
