Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The stethoscope would be a means for the pathogen to travel from source to host. The source is the reservoir or host. The portal of exit is where the pathogen escapes from the reservoir of infection, and the portal of entry is where the microorganism enters the susceptible host.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The nurse would expect to treat athlete's foot with an antifungal because it is a fungal infection. An antibiotic treats bacterial infections, antivirals treat viral infections, and antihelminth treats parasitic worms.
