Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
Nurses and other healthcare providers should suspect listeriosis in high-risk clients with a recent history of eating delicatessen food, soft cheeses, or smoked seafood who become ill with diarrhea and/or flu-like symptoms. Other infectious organisms that commonly cause foodborne illnesses include noroviruses, Listeria monocytogenes, nontyphoid Salmonella, and E. coli O157:H7. Campylobacter is the most common cause of bacterial foodborne illness in the United States, and it is an important cause of diarrheal illness throughout the world regardless of people's age.
