Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Sensible nutrition, adequate rest and exercise, and good personal hygiene habits can help maintain optimum body function and immune response. Unsafe sex practices are potentially dangerous and provide an opportunity for pathogens to enter a host and cause an infection.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Intact skin and mucous membranes provide resistance to certain pathogens. A major burn of 40 of the body provides multiple portals of entry for pathogens.
