Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Tuberculosis is acquired by inhalation of infectious particles is the basis for a policy whereby pa-tients with suspected or proven tuberculosis who are coughing are placed in respiratory isolation, thereby minimizing the risk of disease transmission within the hospital setting.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
In intubated patients, chronic aspiration of colonized secretions through a tracheal cuff has been linked to the subsequent occurrence of pneumonia, which has led to the development of novel strategies to prevent hospital-acquired pneumonia, such as continuous suctioning of subglottic secretions in mechanically ventilated patients and elevation of the head of the bed.

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.
