Answer to Question 1

A
Central DI is caused by insult to the pituitary that results from a brain injury or invasive brain surgery. Kidney disorders, water addiction, and thyroid disorders do not cause central DI.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
The disease may be spread during outbreaks. It is possible to spread the infection with viral shedding between outbreaks. Herpes is a lifelong condition. There is no cure. The condition's treatment can include the administration of antiviral medication. Antibiotics are not typically in-dicated unless a secondary bacterial infection develops. Proper hand hygiene is important to prevent both further spreading of the virus and introduction of bacteria to the affected area.
