Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Using bleach on the needles and syringes is a way to decrease cross-contamination. This is the last-resort option. People who inject drugs are difficult to reach for health care services, so providing them education is important so that they can protect themselves and others as they most likely will not throw away their equipment, or be selective about whom they share their equipment with. Providing needles and syringes does not provide the appropriate education to prevent the spread of disease.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Of the new cases, 59 are foreign-born persons living in the United States, with Asians and Hispanics being the most common ethnic groups, representing 30 and 28 of national TB cas-es. The TB rates for African American, Native American, and White American are lower than the Asian and Hispanic populations.
