Answer to Question 1

A, B, D, E
Feedback:
Spiritual love is unconditional and people need to feel loved regardless of their physical condition, social position, material possessions, or productivity. Educational level is not identified as a condition for being loved.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Alcohol-based hand cleansers do not remove the spores from the hands of caregivers, and running water is required. Caregivers should wear gloves when entering the isolation room (not just when touching the patient).
