Answer to Question 1

C
Because of hyperinflation, a patient with COPD would have a hyperresonant percussion note. All of the other listed options would result in a dull percussion note.

Answer to Question 2

D
Culture and sensitivity tests are used to actively grow bacteria to determine the antibiotic(s) best suited for combating an infection. The Gram stain procedure is used to classify bacteria as gram positive or gram negative. Microscopic examination is needed to identify the organism's shape. DNA analysis requires special laboratory capabilities.
