Answer to Question 1

3
Because of the risk of blood and body fluid exposure, it is recommended that all health care workers be vaccinated against hepatitis B virus. All health care workers should engage in frequent handwashing, but handwashing is not the primary mechanism to prevent the onset of hepatitis B. Avoiding foreign travel and drinking bottled water only will not reduce the risk of hepatitis B.

Answer to Question 2

1, 4, 5
Symptoms of fat emboli include hypoxemia, mental status changes, petechiae, seizures, and a body temperature greater than 101.3F. Cough, protein in the urine, and elevated blood glucose level are not symptoms of fat emboli.
