Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Nurses need to be cognizant about what specimens to collect, how and when to collect, and what laboratory techniques to use. Proper specimen collection is necessary so that the clinical diagnosis can be confirmed. It is not necessary for the nurse to know the signs and symptoms for all para-sitic infections in order to provide care for the client. Public policy about parasitic infections is not important to know when providing care for the client.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
West Nile virus is carried by a mosquito, which is a vector. Food-borne illnesses are carried by food. Water-borne illnesses are transmitted through water. Zoonoses are infections that are transmitted from vertebrate animal to a human under natural conditions.
