Answer to Question 1

B
Gram staining is done to classify organisms as gram positive or gram negative. Often this will help to guide the selection of an antibiotic until the culture and sensitivity results confirm the best drug.

Answer to Question 2

B
To end the interview on a positive note, the respiratory therapist should thank the patient and ask if the patient has any questions. If there is no need for the vital signs to be checked, they should not be. The door may be left open or closed, depending on the situation.
