Answer to Question 1

Ans:
C

Feedback:

The stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, such as that during an episode of pain, characterizes the alarm stage. Resistance and exhaustion would likely follow, and GAS encompasses the whole continuum, not just this particular stage.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
C

Feedback:

The pathogenic leptospires infect a wide variety of wild and domestic animals. Infected animals shed the organisms into the environment through the urinary tract. Transmission to humans occurs by contact with infected animals or urine-contaminated surroundings. This spirochete is not transmitted by air, spores, or a fomite.
