Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The erythrocytic phase of malarial infection occurs when the parasite invades the red blood cells and is characterized by chills, fever, and sweating.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Patients taking acyclovir should increase fluid intake to maintain hydration. A complete blood count is not required. Dizziness and confusion should be reported to the provider. Antiviral medications have many side effects.
