Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale: The influenza virus causes 3.7 million deaths per year, making it the most deadly infectious disease in the world. Although lethal, none of the other viruses (dengue fever, Ebola virus, or human immunodeficiency virus) kill as many people as influenza.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale: There are no effective therapies for treating patients infected by most types of viruses used in a bioterrorist attack. Mass vaccination is not appropriate until safer vaccines can be produced. The CDC does not have a plan to vaccinate Americans against most viruses. Most Americans have not been vaccinated against viruses. At this time, a nuclear weapon does not pose a bigger threat to American citizens than does a bioterrorism attack.
