Answer to Question 1

B
A patient with bronchospasm would have increased airway resistance and air trapping. The air trapping would result in a hyperresonant percussion note.

Answer to Question 2

D
It is important to take the full prescribed course of therapy. Failure to adhere to an antibiotic regimen often leads to antibiotic resistance in the slow-growing microorganism. The other choices are medication specific, and the patient should always follow the directions on the medication bottle.
