Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A

Feedback:

An individual's subjective response to stress is closely linked to previous experiences in dealing with stress and the presence or absence of coping mechanisms. Physical activity, subjective financial status, and diuretic medications would be less likely to have as great an effect.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
A

Feedback:

An object that carries an infectious organism, such as a dirty syringe, is known as a fomite. Airborne contact with TB does not utilize a fomite. An infection via contact with an infected arthropod constitutes zoonosis. A person who consumes ova in undercooked meat acquires an infection by ingestion.
