Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The entire amount of antibiotic medication should be completed even if the symptoms have abated to ensure the eradication of the infectious agent.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Persons with genital herpes should be assessed for HIV because the therapy for herpes is suppressive; persons with HIV are not candidates for suppressant therapy.
