Please read the clinical scenario, and then answer the question that follow to become familiar with the traditional NCLEX question format. Mrs. Hammond is a 79-year-old woman who has been a resident on your floor for the past 5 years. She has been complaining of pain, burning, and tingling on her left side. Today, you observe fluid-filled blisters wrapping around the left side of her torso in a single line. The physician diagnoses her with shingles and places her on contact precautions. -Mr.Hammond inquires how his wife contracted this viral infection,since she has not come in contact with anyone who has shingles.You recall from microbiology that varicella zoster virus can remain in a chronic latent state in a host by
