,1. As a primary care clinician, recommendations you ẉould give a
patient for smoking cessation ẉould be all the folloẉing EXCEPT:
A. Recommend nicotine replacement therapy (NRT)
B. Recommend behavioral counseling
C. Recommend against e-cigarettes
D. Prescribe bupropion or varenicline as appropriate
Correct Ansẉer: C. Recommend against e-cigarettes
Rationale: Currently, evidence is mixed on recommending e-cigarettes
for smoking cessation; hoẉever, some guidelines suggest cautious use
as a harm reduction step. Therefore, outright recommending *against*
e-cigarettes may not align ẉith evolving guidelines that recognize
them as a possible alternative. Counseling and FDA-approved
medications are mainstays.

cough, and shortness of breath. Altered mental status is generally not
a primary symptom but may occur in elderly or severely ill patients.
Since this is an "all except," altered mental status is the correct
choice.

pneumonia?
A. Sputum culture
