Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,3
Rationale 1: The viral envelope consists partly of phospholipids.
Rationale 2: The viral envelope consists partly of glycoprotein.
Rationale 3: The viral envelope consists partly of protein spikes.
Rationale 4: The viral envelope does not contain glucose.
Rationale 5: The viral envelope does not contain carbohydrate.
Global Rationale: The viral envelope consists of phospholipids, glycoprotein, and protein spikes. It does not contain glucose or carbohydrate.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Spermicide contraceptives cannot prevent transmission.
Rationale 2: Herpes simplex is not curable.
Rationale 3: Herpes simplex is not curable and is lifelong, but with treatment, the recurrent episodes usually have a shorter course and are less severe.
Rationale 4: Transmission can still occur without visible lesions.
