Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,4,5
Rationale 1: A highly virulent microbe is one that can produce disease when present in minute numbers.
Rationale 2: Antibiotic resistance is a problem; however only a few, not most, bacteria have developed it.
Rationale 3: Human pathogens include viruses, bacteria, fungi, unicellular organisms, and multicellular animals.
Rationale 4: The ability of an organism to cause infection is called pathogenicity.
Rationale 5: Only a few dozen pathogens commonly cause disease in humans; most are harmless.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1,4
Rationale 1: Fever reduction is a goal of treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs.
Rationale 2: Reduction of secretions is not a goal of treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs.
Rationale 3: Redness and heat are symptoms of inflammation. The therapy may not be working in this client.
Rationale 4: Pain is a sign of inflammation. Reduction of pain indicates that the anti-inflammatory medication is working.
Rationale 5: The goal of anti-inflammatory medications would be that the rash resolved. Since it is spreading, the goal has not been met.
