Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Because AIDS causes the body to be susceptible to opportunistic and chronic infections, three that present most frequently are PCP, MDR-TB, and Kaposi's sarcoma.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Because the ingredients of aspirin may prevent hemostasis and increase the potential for hemorrhage, patients are asked to stop taking aspirin 2 weeks before their surgery date.
