Final Answer :
A,B
Explanation :
To elicit information related to infection,ask the patient about any exposure to pathogens in the environment,recent travel outside the country,ingestion of any unusual foods,medications,current stress level,immunization history,and symptoms of any illness.Asking the patient about her weight and normal BP and heart rate are important information but these questions will not elicit the information needed related to infection.
