Answer to Question 1

Ans: B, C
Drugs used to treat helminthic infections include albendazole and pyrantel pamoate. Erythromycin is used to treat bacterial infections. Acyclovir is used to treat viral infections. Metronidazole is used to treat trichomoniasis. Permethrin is used to treat pediculosis.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The reservoir is the area where a pathogen grows and reproduces. Leaving the dressing unchanged allows for a dark, warm, nutrient rich, and moist environment where many organisms will thrive. A susceptible host is a person who cannot fight off an infection. The portal of exit is the way a pathogen exits the host. The mode of transmission is the way the pathogen travels.
