Answer to Question 1

C
Although the presence of certain chronic diseases may cause signs and symptoms to be increased, it is not a determining factor in assessing and treating food-borne diseases.

Answer to Question 2

D
Signs and symptoms of food-borne diseases may manifest as bad stomach flu. Obtaining a good food history and obtaining a stool specimen are necessary to diagnose or rule out food-borne diseases. Frequent hand washing prevents the spread of infection.
