Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
The nurse's role in infection control includes early detection and surveillance. When taking a health history, the nurse asks about immunization status and previous/recurring infections. The other questions are appropriate in a health history, but are not specific to infections.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Vectors, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and lice, are nonhuman carriers that transmit organisms from one host to another, that is, by injecting salivary fluid when a human bite occurs.
