Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The antibodies used to prevent acute rejection are administered intravenously.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
To prevent toxicity from high drug levels or organ rejection from low levels, blood levels of immunosuppressants should be checked periodically. Immunosuppressants do not prevent infection; they increase the risk of infection. Patients must take immunosuppressants for life. Immunosuppressants do not prevent organ rejection; they help minimize the risk.
