Answer to Question 1

B
Hydrocodone is used for cough suppression as well as pain. Morphine can cause profound respiratory depression.

Answer to Question 2

C
Evidence of a bacterial sinus infection includes prolonged symptoms without improvement for 10 to 14 days, fever greater than 102 F, and unilateral pain. A bacterial infection should be suspected if nasal discharge turns from yellow to green. Amoxicillin-clavulanate is a recommended first-line drug to treat sinusitis.
