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.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
