Answer to Question 1

D
Varicella tends to cause more severe symptoms in adults than in children; adults have a 10-fold greater likelihood of hospitalization and a 20-fold increase in deaths. Chickenpox is highly con-tagious. Even with herd immunity, because of the degree of contagiousness, spread is likely. Va-ricella can be serious, even in children.

Answer to Question 2

A
Kava can cause severe liver injury and, in some cases, require liver transplantation. This patient has abdominal pain, which can be the result of liver damage, so liver function tests should be re-viewed. Kava does not affect the respiratory system, the cardiovascular system, or the blood-forming organs.
