Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

The herpes simplex virus remains latent and can recur during stressful events, fever, trauma, sunlight exposure, and treatment with immunosuppressive drugs. The condition is not caused by a bacterial or fungal infection and is not managed with antibiotics.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3, 5
Patients recovering from bariatric surgery should be instructed to avoid foods high in simple carbohydrates. Meals should be small, and liquids and solids should not be taken together. Tea and toast will not prevent dumping syndrome. It is not necessary for the patient to lie down after eating. This will not prevent dumping syndrome.
