Answer to Question 1

B
The autoimmunity theory holds that with aging the body becomes less able to recognize or tolerate the self. As a result the immune system produces antibodies that act against the self.

Answer to Question 2

B
The profile of a patient in metabolic acidosis is that the blood pH will be below 7.35 and the oxygen readings are within normal limits.
