Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
In patients with a compatible clinical syndrome, the diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia is established by the presence of a new pulmonary infiltrate on the chest radiograph.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
A normal chest x-ray film does not exclude the diagnosis of pneumonia. The chest radiograph may be normal in patients with early infection, dehydration, or P. jiroveci infection.
