Answer to Question 1

a

Answer to Question 2

C
Inhalation anthrax is characterized by fever, cough, malaise, and weakness, which progress 2 to 3 days later to severe respiratory distress, septicemia, and hemorrhagic meningitis.
Tularemia is characterized by fever, headache, chills, rigors, body aches, sneezing, and sore throat. Pneumonia and pleuritis may develop.
Smallpox is manifested by a vesicular rash, which this patient does not have. Fever is a characte-ristic of both inhalational anthrax and smallpox.
Pneumonic plague is manifested by high fever, cough, dyspnea, and hemoptysis, as well as ga-strointestinal symptoms.
