The following are examples of zoonotic diseases EXCEPT

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Zoonotic diseases transfer from animals to humans. 'Influenza,' is correct as the exception, primarily human-to-human, though some strains (e.g., avian) are zoonotic, per epidemiology (e.g., Morens). 'Rabies,' 'Anthrax,' and 'Tuberculosis,' are zoonotic. Influenza's typical transmission makes D the accurate answer.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Fungal diseases are caused by fungi. 'Malaria,' is correct as the exception, protozoan (Plasmodium), per mycology (e.g., Alexopoulos). 'Ringworm,' 'Candidiasis,' and 'Athlete's foot,' are fungal. Malaria's parasitic nature makes C the accurate answer.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Immune system diseases involve immune dysfunction. 'Cancer,' is correct as the exception, primarily oncological, per immunology (e.g., Janeway). 'Lupus,' 'Rheumatoid arthritis,' and 'HIV,' affect immunity. Cancer's cellular origin makes D the precise answer.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The third stage of general anesthesia (surgical anesthesia) requires maintaining proper patient positioning to ensure airway patency and alignment for surgical access. Restraining is more relevant in the excitement stage, emergency equipment is for complications, and keeping the room quiet is more pertinent during induction.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Cricoid pressure (Sellick maneuver) occludes the esophagus, stabilizes the trachea, and prevents regurgitation/aspiration during intubation. It does not facilitate tube removal, which occurs during extubation.
