Answer:

D. You will be OK if you follow standard precautions and use protective equipment to avoid contact with blood and body fluids when providing care.

Explanation:

HIV is transmitted through body fluids, so the care giver (nurse) would be protected by avoiding contact with blood and body fluids.

HIV is not transmitted through eating utensils or saliva. HIV is also not airborne, so wearing a mask is not necessary.  

Avoiding contact with blood and body fluids will protect the nurse and her pregnancy.

inessss [21]

Answer:

D) the sensory receptors to the CNS.

Explanation:

Sensory division of nervous system is also called as afferent division. It has nerves that come from sensory receptors present in internal organs and somatic areas ( eyes, ears, skin etc. ) and these nerves send impulse to CNS. CNS gets information on what is happening with the body via these impulses. It can detect various senses like touch, hearing, sight etc.
