Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
Some viral infections are acute and controlled by the host's defense mechanisms; others spread throughout the body and cause severe tissue damage or result in chronic illness.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Infectious disease refers to the pathology or pathologic events that result from the invasion and multiplication of microorganisms in a host.

The injury produces manifestations of infection: fever, rashes, malaise, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, purulent discharge from wounds; a hot, red, tender area around wounds or puncture sites; aches and pains; or total body collapse.
