Rationale: All of these areas should be avoided when collecting a rapid strep sample.

Answer to Question 2

Root

Rationale: The term root describes a basic word element that identifies the central meaning of a word. The term prefix describes a word part that precedes other word parts to modify the meaning of a word. The term suffix describes a word part that is terminally placed to modify the meaning of a word. The term combining form describes a root plus a vowel, allowing for the addition of other word parts to form a word. The term abbreviation is a distractor.
