Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
A transplanted organ is a foreign substance, and the recipient's immune system will reject this foreign substance unless specific measures are taken to prevent it. Before the transplant, tissue typing is done to obtain the most genetically compatible match between donor and recipient; however, this is not always successful. Another measure taken to suppress the rejection is the use of immunosuppressive drugs for life. Signs of rejection can be similar to other antigenantibody responses; they include fever, chills, diaphoresis, hypertension, hypotension, edema, and signs of organ involvement. If the immunosuppressive drugs are not effective, the organ will be rejected.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Arterial blood gas (ABG) evaluations may be performed to determine the pH (potential of hydrogen in concentration) of blood, a valuable indicator of acidosis or alkalosis. Other commonly ordered tests include hematologic tests of the complete blood count (CBC), clotting factors, and liver function tests (LFTs).
