Answer to Question 1

ask the first caller if she can hold. If yes, answer the second line, ask him if he can hold. If yes, return to the first caller

Rationale: The best option is to ask the first caller if she can hold. If yes, answer the second line, ask him if he can hold. If yes, return to the first caller.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale: Standard precautions are not required when being exposed to sweat. All other items listed as well as blood, vaginal secretions, cerebrospinal fluid, pleural fluid, body fluid containing blood, unidentifiable body fluid, saliva, feces, nasal secretions, sputum, and urine require the implementation of standard precautions.
