Answer to Question 1

A
Active TB can be spread by airborne pathogens. Masks and gowns, in addition to gloves, should be worn while caring for such patients. Standard Precautions would be used for patients with bacterial pneumonia, a UTI caused by E. coli, and a fungal infection of the groin and axilla.

Answer to Question 2

D
The influenza vaccine is cultured in chicken embryos, making anyone allergic to eggs probably allergic to the immunization.
