Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The entire amount of antibiotic medication should be completed even if the symptoms have abated to ensure the eradication of the infectious agent.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Persons with genital herpes should be assessed for HIV because the therapy for herpes is suppressive; persons with HIV are not candidates for suppressant therapy.

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
