Answer:

Portal of entry

Explanation:

Portal of entry is the pathway by which the infectious agent reaches the susceptible host. Or that is the way that led a person to be infected by the microorganism that causes an infection. In the case of the above question, Felicia poked herself as she discarded a needle she had just used to administer medication to a patient. This patient was infected with the HIV virus, the needle used in the patient came into contact with the blood and eventually became a vehicle for transmission of the virus. When Felica poked herself with this needle, she contracted the virus. In this case, the needle was the pathway through which the virus hit Felicia. The needle is a portal of entry.

charle [14.2K]

The right answer is C

At 28 weeks of pregnancy, the baby could finally open his eyes. If a bright light is placed near the abdomen, the baby may open his eyes and turn his eyes away from the light.

The brain waves of the baby indicate that it responds to the sounds in the environment. Variations in his brain waves also appear during his sleep. These sleep cycles will become clearer and more distinct as the date of delivery approaches.

This stage of pregnancy is essential for the development of the baby's lungs.
