Answer to Question 1

Correct 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

Correct Answer:
Rationale: The normal function of red blood cells includes transporting oxygen from the lungs to the tissue and transporting carbon dioxide to the lungs. White blood cells protect the body against bacterial invaders. Platelets form hemostatic plugs to stop bleeding. Red blood cells are not directly responsible for psychosocial development.
