Ans: D
Feedback:
Direct inoculation from intravenous drug use, and the accompanying disruption in the integrity of the body's surface barrier, is an example of entry by penetration. Vertical transmission occurs from mother to child, and neither direct contact nor ingestion is a likely source of this client's infection.
