Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, C, E
Immunization for anthrax currently is limited to people considered at risk. BioThrax is approved for people at high risk of exposure to anthrax spores, such as veterinarians and laboratory workers. Also, military personnel are approved to receive this vaccine. Hospital personnel and nursing home residents are not groups at risk of contact with anthrax spores.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
To be the most effective, potassium iodide must be taken immediately after exposure. If taken 48 hours after exposure, the drug is useless.
