Answer to Question 1

B, C, E
Individuals living in poverty, elderly people, homeless individuals, those in abusive relationships, people with substance abuse problems and/or mental illnesses, and new immigrants are examples of vulnerable populations. Living at home and being middle-aged are not examples of vulnerable populations.

Answer to Question 2

B
Rhonchi are loud, low-pitched, rumbling coarse sounds heard either during inspiration or expira-tion. They may be cleared by coughing. Fine crackles are high-pitched fine, short, interrupted crackling sounds heard during end of inspiration; usually not cleared with coughing. Moist crackles are lower, more moist sounds heard during middle of inspiration; not cleared with coughing. Coarse crackles are loud, bubbly sounds heard during inspiration; not cleared with coughing. Wheezes are high-pitched, continuous musical sounds like a squeak heard continuously during inspiration or expiration; usually louder on expiration. A pleural friction rub has a dry, grating quality heard during inspiration; does not clear with coughing; heard loudest over lower lateral anterior surface.
