1. Which of the following diagnostic tests definitely diagnoses pneumonia?

Explanation

A chest X-ray is a diagnostic test that can definitely diagnose pneumonia. Pneumonia is an infection in the lungs that causes inflammation and fluid buildup. A chest X-ray can show the presence of infiltrates or consolidation in the lungs, which are characteristic signs of pneumonia. This test allows healthcare professionals to visualize the affected areas and make an accurate diagnosis. CT Head, lactic acid level, and bronchoscopy are not specific tests for diagnosing pneumonia and may be used for other medical conditions.
