Antibodies destroy an antigen by mechanically harming it, activating the complement system, and releasing chemicals that alter the environment of the antigen.

Answer to Question 2

When climbing stairs with crutches, the patient should first stand at the foot of the stairs with weight on the good leg and crutches, put weight on the crutch handles, and then lift the good leg up onto the first step of the stairs. Weight should be placed on the good leg to lift the injured leg and crutches up to that step.
