Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Some body parts are considered to be sterile. Either they do not normally open to the outside (e.g., the abdominal cavity or the ovary) or they do not normally contain any microorganisms. Other areas (e.g., the urinary bladder) are susceptible to infection. The bladder is normally considered to be sterile, even though it is open to the outside. Many body parts are clean but not sterile. Examples include the skin, mouth, gastrointestinal tract, and upper respiratory tract. These areas are open to the outside and are inhabited by microorganisms at all times.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Typical signs of hypoglycemia include jitteriness and exaggerated Moro's reflex (main signs), tremors or irritability, seizures, apnea, tachycardia, cyanosis or paleness, high-pitched or weak cry, eye rolling, listlessness, and eating poorly.
