Answer to Question 1

A
If a patient develops wheals or hives in an allergic reaction to drugs (urticaria), then all medications should be held.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The error theory of aging proposes that genetic mutations are perpetuated through the aging process, resulting in organ malfunction and eventual decline in body function. Organ malfunction results from, but does not cause, the genetic mutations in question. A genetic predetermination of the number of cell divisions is associated with the programmed theory of aging.
