please answer any of these i would greatly appreciate it!
1. most cases of active pulmonary tuberculosis in older adults results from
a. An infection caused by mycobacteria other than Mycobacterium tuberculosis
b. A new infection due to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a susceptible person not previously exposed to the organism
c. Reactivation of a previously acquired Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection
d. An exotoxin-producing strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

2. A young man sustained a severe chest injury with multiple rib fractures in a snowmobile accident. An important and relatively common complication of this type of injury is
a. Pneumothorax secondary to laceration of the lung by broken ends of the fractured ribs
b. Emphysema
c. Pnuemonia
d. Pulmonary embolism due to the lung injury

3. A patient with pulmonary tuberculosis develops tuberculosis of the kidney. The kidney infection occurred because
a. The tubercle bacillus is acid fast.
b. The organism was carried in the blood stream from the lungs to the kidneys.
c. The organism was excreted in the urine and ascended into the kidneys through the ureters from the bladder.
d. The patient has a positive tuberculin test.

4. Which of the following statements regarding the treatment of emphysema by lung volume reduction surgery is INCORRECT?

A. Surgical treatment was much more effective than medical treatment in almost all patients.
B. LVRS involves resecting segments of emphysematous upper lobes in order to reduce the size of the overinflated lungs so that the less severely affected lower lobes can function more efficiently.
C. The mortality rate of medically treated patients was similar to the mortality rate of surgically treated patients.
D. It may be suitable for some patients who have emphysema restricted to the upper lobes of the lungs.

5. True or false? If a bronchus or bronchiole becomes blocked so that no air can enter or leave the lung supplied by the blocked bronchus, the air within the lung supplied by the bronchus or bronchiole will be gradually absorbed, and the affected lung segment will collapse.
6. True or false? A tension pneumothorax usually subsides spontaneously and does not require treatment.
7. True or false? Hypersensitivity to proteins of the tubercle bacillus as demonstrated by a positive skin test (“tuberculin test”) indicates that the patient is immune to tuberculosis and is NOT susceptible to infection.
8. True or false? An interstitial pneumonia (primary atypical pneumonia) is usually caused by a pathogenic bacterium such as the pneumococcus (Streptococcus pneumoniae).
9.True or false? Infants born to mothers with diabetes are at increased risk of developing the neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.
10. True or false? Infants delivered by cesarean section are at greater risk of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome than are infants delivered vaginally.

DOnt know #1 but its usually a community aquired thing
#2 is A
#3 has to be B
#6 is defintely false -its an emergency
#7 is definitely false
thats all i know off the top of my head
