Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Relying on clinical findings alone can result in unnecessary use of broad-range antibiotics, which in turn can lead to the emergence of multidrug-resistant strains of microorganisms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
According to Table 14-2, patients with late-onset VAP who develop MRSA should be treated with linezolid or vancomycin.
