Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E
Genetic, microbiologic, metabolic, and immunologic factors influence the development of di-abetes mellitus. Allogenic refers to cells or tissues that are from different individuals in the same species.

Answer to Question 2

C
The patient currently has a viral infection; acyclovir is an antiviral drug that will decrease the virulence of the infection if started in the early phase of the infection. The drug may not kill the virus and is not given frequently to patients with viruses. Acyclovir will not strengthen the im-mune system.
