Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Antibiotics are effective against bacteria, and exact antibiotic sensitivity is tested so that appropriate antibiotics are prescribed. Infections that are caused by fungi are treated with antifungal medications. Certain antiviral medications are used to manage the symptoms of a viral infection. These medications, if given during the early phases of illness, can decrease the amount of time that the patient has viral symptoms. Treatment for parasitic infections varies depending on type of parasite.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Infectious agents include any disease-causing agent and are called pathogens. They include bacteria, fungi, viruses, and parasites. Normal flora is a group of non-disease-causing microorganisms that live in or on the body. A microorganism is bacteria, fungi, or protozoa.
