The correct multiple-choose answer sounds like it would be: C) Portal of entry. I hope this helped!

The correct answer is C.

In this scenario the needle stick is the portal of entry in the chain of transmission. The susceptible host is Felicia, the infectious agent is the blood of the patient on the needle, the needle stick is the portal of entry because it is how the infection entered Felicia, the reservoir is the patient (the host) as that is where the infection lives and the portal or exit would be the vein of the host (where the infection is located).
