Answer to Question 1

C
Skin serves as a physical barrier to infectious agents and produces secretions (e.g., sebum) that kill some bacteria. Normal or resident flora are organisms residing on the skin and in the body that compete with pathogenic flora for food and inhibit multiplication of these pathogens, but usually are not harmful.

Answer to Question 2

D
Holistic health care, which is nursing the whole person, is comprehensive health care. A major focus of holistic health care is teaching preventive care.
