Answer to Question 1

A, C, D, E
Feedback:
Nutrition, immunizations, and thorough hygiene and handwashing can protect a susceptible individual from infection. Saline solution is not an effective disinfectant; diluted bleach should be used.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Ethics involves moral or philosophical principles that direct actions as being either right or wrong. Laws are often rooted in ethics, but the two terms are not synonymous. Similarly, morals and values are closely associated with ethics, but these do not constitute the definition of ethics. Ethics are not universally agreed upon, as many different applications exist.
