Answer to Question 1

D
All of the listed options can trigger apnea of prematurity. See Box 31-1 for the full list of possible triggering events or conditions.

It is important for a patient with bronchiectasis to avoid any airway irritants, including air pollution and smoking, and to prevent the flu by being immunized each year. An antibiotic should only be taken against a specific infectious organism for a set time period.
