Answer to Question 1

A
Immunoglobulin contains antibodies against not just one but many infectious diseases. This type of immune globulin is used when a susceptible person is exposed to or contracts a communicable disease since it enhances the immune system. Immunizations are a form of active artificially ac-quired immunity. Contracting the disease initiates naturally acquired immunity. Antioxidants are thought to simply boost the immune system.

Answer to Question 2

B
The four-point crutch gait is the most stable, requires that there may be partial weight bearing on both legs, and does not mimic normal walking pattern.
