Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Subcultures have characteristic patterns that distinguish them from the rest of the culture.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The patient goal would be to improve airway clearance. Coughing more frequently within 3 days and performing deep-breathing exercises four times daily do not directly relate to the problem of thick secretions. Breathing better within 3 days is too vague.
