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.

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

We know 150 minutes each week sounds like a lot of time, but it’s not. That could be 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. The good news is that you can spread your activity out during the week, so you don’t have to do it all at once.

If you're planning to drink, you should?
mixas84 [53]
If you are planning to drink, you should be responsible in many ways. If you are going out to drink with friends, pick a designated driver ( a member of the group that abstains from alcohol in order to drive the others safely). Try to limit your drink intake unless you dont mind getting sick later. You can drink and still have fun with just a buzz and not full blown drunk. However, that is your choice. If everyone in the group wants to drink, I would suggest drinking somewheres that you know you casn crash at so you wont have to drive. I:f you go to a party or a bar, never leave your drink unattended because someone might slip something in it when you are not looking. Of corse you need to be of proper age to drink and never give alcohol to minors. Always eat something before you drink so you wont get drunk too fast. Never drink and drive!!! If you go out drinking by yourself or with people you just met, you really should stay as alert as you can. set a limit for yourself and stick to uit. If you know you can only handle 3 or 4 drinks then dont go over that limit. I always save the tabs off the cans I drink or tops off of the bottles and put it in my pocket so I can keep track of how much I drank. If you are on any type of medication, it is vitally important to do some research and see if it is even safe for you to drink while on your medication. It's nice to drink and have fun but do it safely. Advil or tylenol will help with the hangover you probably will have the next day. Believe it or not, eating bread wiull help you sober up, as well as drinking water. If you go out ot drink and absolutly have no one to drive you home or pick you up from where you are then stay the night if possible (if its at a persons house that you trust) and if that doesn't work then STOP drinking an hour before you want to drive home. ABSOLUTELY NO DRIVING while you are drunk. If you can barely stand up or keep your eyes open or if your eyes are blurry in any way, then that's a sign for you not to drive and sober up!!!! If nessasarry, sit in your car, maybe nap if you need to but do not attempt to drive. You are smart enough to know
