Answer to Question 1

D
Benign neoplasms are encapsulated with a fibrous membrane that interferes with their spreading. They do not self-limit their growth and may obstruct passages or impinge on an organ. They are not treated with radiation.

Answer to Question 2

C
Amantadine (Symmetrel) is an antiviral medication that may be given within 48 hours of expo-sure or within 48 hours of the onset of influenza symptoms. It is not a drug that is taken regularly and will not stop the spread of the avian flu.
