Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Innate immunity is present at birth. It is not dependent on illness or injection.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
With an elevated pH, the diagnosis must be alkalosis. Since the PCO2 is low, it is likely respira-tory, with a slight decrease in HCO3 indicating renal compensation.
