Answer to Question 1

B
The contagion period of a viral cold is about 3 days.

Answer to Question 2

D
If a foreign body is sticking out of the eye, no attempt to remove it should be made. Both eyes should be patched to prevent further eye movement, and then the patient should be referred to the emergency department or to an ophthalmologist. For foreign bodies not deeply embedded in the tissues of the eye, irrigation can easily remove them. Irrigation with clear, lukewarm water or sterile water or saline is used to remove a foreign body sticking to the cornea.
