Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4
Explanation: 4. Nosocomial infections are spread as a result of exposure in a health care setting, in hospitals, and physicians' offices. Even though this is also a communicable disease or an outbreak, the best description is nosocomial infection. An epidemic involves the occurrence of a great number of cases of a disease far beyond what would ordinarily be expected in a given population.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 3
Explanation: 3. Botulism can be caused by contamination by accident through inadequate canning and preserving processes, but could potentially occur as a result of bioterrorist activity. Insecticides used on crops are not a cause of botulism. Food preservatives are not a source of botulism.
