Answer to Question 1

D
To prevent spreading genital herpes, the patient should avoid sex until all the lesions are gone. Genital herpes is a viral condition and symptoms can be managed by antiviral medication. In-creasing fluid intake will help to dilute urine and can manage pain, but is of lesser importance than preventing the spread of genital herpes. The patient should don gloves when applying topi-cal ointment.

Answer to Question 2

C
The actual structural unit that secretes insulin is the beta cell. Beta cells are found on the islets of Langerhans, which are in the pancreas.
