A. 5% to 10% B. 25% C. 48% D. 65% E. Unsure

4. Although seasonal influenza infection is uncomplicated in the majority of patients, serious influenza-related complications and death may occur in adults and children with certain high-risk factors, including:

A. Asthma B. Hypertension C. Anorexia D. Major depressive disorder E. Unsure

5. Your patient who lives in a congregate setting presents with influenza-like symptoms, but the rapid influenza diagnostic test (RIDT) you perform is negative. You should:

A. Take no further action since the patient is likely not infected with influenza B. Repeat the RIDT C. Perform a throat swab for influenza viral culture D. Confirm the negative RIDT results with a molecular assay E. Unsure

6. Compared with trivalent influenza vaccines, current quadrivalent vaccines contain:

A. An additional influenza A strain B. No egg-based products C. An additional influenza B strain D. One additional influenza A strain and one extra influenza B strain E. Unsure

8. You are considering use of baloxavir marboxil for your patient with influenza who is at high risk for complications due to immunosuppression. This antiviral drug is believed to act by inhibiting:

A. Cap-dependent endonuclease B. Neuraminidase C. Hemagglutinin D. M2 proton channel E. Unsure

9. Your patient with leukemia, who has recently undergone a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HPSCT), seeks your advice on how she can best protect herself against influenza. According to guidelines issued by the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA), during influenza season she should receive:

A. Pre-exposure influenza antiviral prophylaxis due to her high risk B. Postexposure prophylaxis within 5 days of contact with someone known or suspected of being infected, maintained for 14 days C. Weekly RIDT testing to monitor for influenza infection D. Use of dual agents for antiviral chemoprophylaxis E. Unsure

10. Surveys and literature reviews have found that patients prefer and are more likely to get vaccinated for influenza when administered:

A. By their primary care physician (PCP) B. By a pharmacist C. In the workplace D. In a local walk-in clinic E. Unsure
