Answer to Question 1

D
Patients over the age of 75 are three times more likely to experience surgical complications. An older adult is less able to adjust and compensate for the stress of surgery, as physiologic reserves (cardiac, respiratory, and renal) have already declined with age.

Answer to Question 2

D
Passive natural immunity is the immunity a baby gets from the mother, in utero or from breast milk, that lasts for the first several months of the baby's life.
