Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Emigration from countries where the disease occurs, such as the Philippines, places patients at risk for tuberculosis. Active tuberculosis is characterized by symptoms of cough, fever, and night sweats. Patients with latent tuberculosis exhibit no symptoms and do not feel sick. Bacterial pneumonia is not commonly noted with night sweats. Emphysema is not noted with fever.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Glycerin suppositories are often effective in infants and children. Milk of magnesia, sorbitol, and Dulcolax suppositories are not recommended.
