Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Nosocomial infections are infections acquired from microorganisms in hospitals and other health care facilities. The patient's infection is not community acquired, postoperative, or sustained.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Migraines demonstrate a familial pattern, and authorities believe that they are inherited as autosomal dominant traits with incomplete penetrance. Stress may precipitate a migraine, but this is not an aspect of the etiology. They are not a precursor to TIAs or stroke, and they do not involve disruption of the limbic system.
