Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Herpes simplex virus (HSV) keratitis (not conjunctivitis) with stromal scarring is the most common cause of corneal ulceration and blindness in the Western world. Autoinoculation from the eyes to other sites is not common, and glaucoma is not noted to be a consequence or symptom of HSV infection.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
C

Feedback:

If the ventral vagus is utilized and fails to provide safety, the SNS is recruited first. The other distracters are not the first to respond.
