Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Transmission of mononucleosis is usually through saliva from close personal contact. The virus also may be secreted in other mucosal secretions of the genital, rectal, and respiratory tract, as well as blood. A surgical mask is not necessary because the disorder is not airborne. The patient does not need to avoid all contact, but precautions should be taken.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Lymphadenopathy is evidenced by enlarged lymph nodes, not small, hard, disordered, or non-palpable nodes.
