Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Clients may become infected from people who have active disease, people in the incubation portion of their disease, or people who harbor pathogens but have no symptoms of disease.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
The overprescribing of antibiotics for viral infections has contributed to the evolution of resistant microbial strains. Antibiotics are intended for bacterial infections and topical use has not been linked to the development of resistance. Viral mutation does not cause resistance, since viruses are never susceptible to antibiotics.
