Answer to Question 1

Answer:3
Rationale: The absolute neutrophil count uses both the segmented (mature) and bands (immature) neutrophils as a measure of the body's infection-fighting capability.Red-blood-cell count,hemoglobin,and platelets cannot determine infection-fighting capabilities.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale 1: An unmarried, 22-year-old college graduate is not the best candidate. She has the potential for more than one sexual partner.
Rationale 2: Because this patient has never been pregnant, she is not the best candidate.
Rationale 3: This patient has a history of a sexually transmitted disease, and so is not the best candidate.
Rationale 4: This patient is the best candidate, as she is in a stable relationship, and has children.
