    Alcohol slows down nerve signals in the body. When consumed, alcohol affects the central nervous system, causing a decrease in brain activity and impairing cognitive and motor functions. This leads to a variety of effects on the body, including relaxation, decreased coordination, and slowed reaction times. The ability of alcohol to slow down nerve signals is also responsible for the sedative effects it produces, such as drowsiness and fatigue.

    Explanation
    An antibiotic is a medicine that inhibits the growth of or destroys microorganisms. This type of medication is specifically designed to target and kill bacteria, fungi, or other microorganisms that can cause infections or diseases in the body. Antibiotics work by interfering with the essential processes or structures of these microorganisms, ultimately stopping their growth or killing them. They are commonly used to treat various bacterial infections, such as urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and skin infections. It is important to note that antibiotics are not effective against viral infections, as viruses have different mechanisms of replication and are not affected by antibiotics.

    A. Range of emotions
    Explanation
    Cannabis can affect your body by altering your range of emotions. When consumed, it can induce various emotional states such as relaxation, euphoria, or even anxiety and paranoia. This is due to the active compounds in cannabis, particularly THC, which interacts with the brain's endocannabinoid system and affects mood regulation. Therefore, cannabis can have a significant impact on one's emotional well-being.

This can occur in healthcare settings, such as needlestick injuries or accidental exposure to contaminated blood. It can also occur in other occupations where there is a risk of contact with blood or bodily fluids, such as emergency responders or laboratory workers. Therefore, the correct answer is occupational exposure as it is a recognized mode of HIV transmission.
