Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Patients receiving antirejection therapy are at a greatly heightened risk of infection; protective isolation is warranted. Raw foods are normally contraindicated, and the use of a gown and gloves does not protect the patient sufficiently from infectious microorganisms. It is not necessary to perform twice-daily antiseptic washes.
