Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Handwashing is the most effective method to prevent hospital acquired infections. Sterile technique is only used for certain procedures and isolation protocols are used for patients already infected or for protective isolation in immune-compromised patients and are not used for every patient. Antibiotics are used to treat infections.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Vectors carry pathogens from one host to another. Bacteria are single-cell organisms. Viruses are the smallest organisms. Fungi are single-cell organisms that can cause infection.
