Answer to Question 1

QuantiFERON-TB Gold test (QFT-G)
The CDC now recommends use of the QuantiFERON-TB Gold test (QFT-G) (CDC, 2005), a blood test, in place of the traditional TB skin test. The advantages of the QFT-G test are that it does not boost responses measured by subsequent tests, and the results are not subject to reader bias.

Skin, the largest human body organ, protects us from heat, light, injury, and infection, and serves to (1) help regulate body temperature; (2) store water, vitamin D, and fat; (3) help sense pain and other stimuli; and (4) prevent the entry of bacteria.
