Answer to Question 1

C
Fall prevention is the purpose of locking the wheels of a wheelchair.

Answer to Question 2

A
The many leukemic white cells cannot function as normal WBCs do. The bone marrow rushes production of immature white cells (blasts) to try to create adequate protection. These cells do not protect against infection, nor do they take over the functions of the RBCs. AML originates in the bone marrow.
