Answer to Question 1

B
Tonsils normally enlarge progressively between the ages of 2 and 10 years and reduce during preadolescence.

Answer to Question 2

B
Providing care outside of the hospital setting is less costly for clients, their employers, and their insurers. Changes in health care policies and reimbursement rates over the past decade have resulted in shorter hospital stays.
