Answer to Question 1

A
In the event that smallpox is the biological weapon, the best treatment is prevention by immunization with vaccinia vaccine before the onset of symptoms. Vaccination within 3 days of exposure will completely prevent the disease or will significantly reduce its effect.
Vaccination 4 to 7 days post exposure offers some protection from disease or will decrease the severity of disease.

Answer to Question 2

External fixation
External fixation consists of a metal frame that secures pins inserted through the bone above and below a fracture site. External fixation stabilizes a fracture with hardware visible outside the body. It fosters the healing of complex fractured bones, usually in the lower extremities.
