2.  Lymphocytes are : red blood cells that execute and manage all activities of the immune system white blood cells that execute and manage all activities of the immune system a sub-category of eurythrocytes involved in adaptive immune responses a type of antibody

6.  Infection control is necessary in clinical environments where audiological services are provided because: it is the law patients may exhibit both overt and covert levels of immunocompromise nature of audiologcal practice increases potential for cross-contamination All of the above

7.  Mode of disease transmission refers to : portal of entry into the body how a microbe moves from one location to the next guidelines on how to reduce exposure to infectious agents disease conditions that originate from common place microorganisms

8.  Route of disease transmission refers to: portal of entry into the body how a microbe moves from one location to the next guidelines on how to reduce exposure to infectious agents disease conditions that originate from common place microorganisms
