Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
No specific antibiotic, antiviral, or other treatment has been found that will prevent or cure HIV/AIDS or herpes simplex virus 1 or 2 . Individuals infected with viral STIs are infected for life. Treatment of STIs is often difficult. Resistance to antibiotics is problematic. A person also may have more than one STI simultaneously, which makes treatment difficult. Antibody immunity does not develop in many of the STIs, such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, or trichomoniasis, which leads to the need for continual surveillance and lifetime problems. Individuals may become infected more than once.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The needle's gauge and length are both important when choosing the correct type for injection. The gauge (G) is the needle's inner diameter (bore), through which medication is administered. The gauge is stated using numbers. A 25-G needle has a very small opening and would be used for subcutaneous or intradermal injections; a 23-G needle, which has a larger bore, may be used for IM injections of more viscous (thicker) liquids; an 18-G needle has a very large bore and may be used for IV injection of large amounts of medication. Needles commonly used range in length from  to 2 inches. A subcutaneous injection is given with a short needle (usually  inch in length); an IM injection requires a longer needle, with a larger bore, to ensure delivery into the muscle tissue.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
