Answer to Question 1

B
To relieve a tension pneumothorax in a neonate, a needle thoracentesis would be recommended to release the trapped air prior to placement of a chest tube.

Answer to Question 2

Disseminated histoplasmosis is most likely to occur in patients with HIV or another condition that decreases the immune response to an infection. Asymptomatic histoplasmosis and the other listed infections can occur in any patient.
