Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

Guided imagery is another technique that is used to achieve relaxation. One method is scene visualization, in which the person is asked to sit back, close the eyes, and concentrate on a scene narrated by the therapist. Whenever possible, all five senses are involved.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Viruses are difficult to treat because interference with their replication often requires interference with the body's cell replication processes. Although they do exist with antiviral treatments, drug resistance and side effects are phenomena more closely associated with antibacterials. Antivirals act upon DNA or RNA synthesis, not the cell wall.
