Answer to Question 1

C
The virulence of a pathogen is affected by the strength of the pathogen to adhere to healthy cells, the ability of the pathogen to damage cells or interfere with the body's normal regulating systems, and the ability of the pathogen to evade the attack of white blood cells.

Answer to Question 2

A
The interdisciplinary health care team usually includes physical and occupational therapists, a speech/language pathologist, recreational therapists, rehabilitation nurses, a physician, social workers, dietitians, and mental health professionals. The members of the team are selected based on the needs of the client and the family.
