"My immune system reacts to gluten and damages the villi in my gut."

“I have an allergy to the proteins that are found in wheat.”

“I am glad that I can still eat rye bread.”

"The bacteria in my gut are unable to digest gluten.”

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A. "My immune system reacts to gluten and damages the villi in my gut.": Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder in which gluten triggers an immune response that damages the small intestinal villi, leading to malabsorption.

B. "I have an allergy to the proteins that are found in wheat.": Celiac disease is not a wheat allergy; it is an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye.

C. "I am glad that I can still eat rye bread." : Rye contains gluten and must be avoided in celiac disease.

D. "The bacteria in my gut are unable to digest gluten." : Celiac disease is not caused by bacterial inability to digest gluten but by an autoimmune response to gluten.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Contact: Hepatitis C is transmitted primarily through blood, not through direct contact (e.g., touching contaminated surfaces). Contact precautions are not necessary unless there are open wounds or excessive body fluid exposure.

B. Standard: Hepatitis C is a bloodborne virus transmitted through exposure to infected blood (e.g., needlestick injuries, IV drug use). Standard precautions, including hand hygiene, glove use, and proper handling of sharps, are sufficient.

C. Droplet: Hepatitis C is not spread via respiratory droplets (e.g., sneezing, coughing). Droplet precautions are unnecessary.

D. Airborne: Hepatitis C is not transmitted via airborne particles (e.g., tuberculosis, measles). Airborne precautions are unnecessary.

A. "You are more likely to get it if living in crowded conditions.” B. “It can be caught while getting a tattoo." C. "Poor handwashing of restaurant workers may lead to its transmission.” D. “The disease is passed person to person through casual contact."

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. "You are more likely to get it if living in crowded conditions." Crowded conditions increase the risk of hepatitis A, which spreads via the fecal-oral route, not hepatitis C.

B. "It can be caught while getting a tattoo." Hepatitis C (HCV) is a bloodborne virus transmitted through contaminated needles (tattoos, IV drug use, needle-stick injuries, blood transfusions before 1992).

C. "Poor handwashing of restaurant workers may lead to its transmission." Hepatitis A, not C, is transmitted through contaminated food and poor hygiene. Hepatitis C requires direct blood-to-blood contact.

D. "The disease is passed person to person through casual contact." Hepatitis C is not spread by casual contact, kissing, or sharing food/utensils—it requires blood-to-blood exposure.
