Answer to Question 1

D
AIDS is caused by a retrovirus. Fungal infections usually only occur on the skin or nails. Parasitic infections are most common in the intestines, although they may travel to other parts of the body. Rotavirus is a virus that causes diarrhea.

Answer to Question 2

B
Patients experiencing nausea and vomiting usually find it easiest to tolerate bland, low-fat foods with low odor, served cold or at room temperature; the turkey sandwich would probably be tole-rated best. Chicken noodle soup is usually served hot. Chicken curry is served hot, is highly sea-soned, and has a strong aroma. Taco salad with jalapenos would be very spicy.
