It seems that some people have nothing better to with their time but to post and point out what they think are mistakes. Perhaps YOU confused a ligitimate question with sarcasm. Perhaps it is YOU who needs to go back and "study" manners before YOU jump to conclusions.
Why would a man need a tampon?....= a ligitimate question.
Why would a man need a tampon, you moron!....= condescending.
Try in the future to read a question as it is written rather than pointing a bony finger.
This board is here for HELP; not for you to act as if you know it all. If you do know the answer, then post the answer, assist your fellow MTs and shut up rather than tell people they need to study more.

They actually are not fragments as they contain necessary parts, but punctuation shows how they are related to the other thought.

Capitalize first letter after a colon. Forgot an apostrophe to indicate possessive case,as the cough belongs to a smoker. Forgot serial comma after nose.
As to format, if they let you get away with each system starting on a separate line it will be clearer and give you a higher line count.
Finally, to quote my medical editing instructor at Cornell Medical School, "The addition of "al" to an adjective does not make it any more "adjectival" -- I always got a laugh out of that line. I've been correcting docs and transcriptionists for years about neurologic and hematologic.

Does punctuation, whether it be periods or commas or whatever, always go inside parenthesis or not? BOS shows they don't, but I've also heard that punctuation always go inside the end parenthesis.

I think this must be either talking about the patient's caregivers after the transplant, or social/family history. Take another listen for pauses, I think it needs the sentence broken up.
