Question

alice has felt ill for two weeks. she has had a runny nose every day and a fever of 100 degrees for two days. her appetite has decreased slightly. she is tired and has not wanted to get out of bed.
which symptom does alice have that indicates that she should seek medical care?
○ tiredness
○ runny nose
○ fever over 99 degrees
○ illness for two weeks

Explanation:

Tiredness and a runny nose are common symptoms of minor illnesses and may not require immediate medical care. A fever of 100 degrees is not necessarily over 99 degrees in a way that uniquely indicates medical care (and 100 is only slightly above 99). However, being ill for two weeks is a relatively long duration, and persistent illness for that time suggests a need for medical evaluation to determine the cause.

Answer:

D. illness for two weeks
