Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale: Phagocytosis, an important nonspecific immune response, is a process in which the particle is ingested and digested by a cell. The other options are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale: Certain factors create a risk for the development of thrombophlebitis. These factors include smoking; varicose veins; obesity; a history of thrombophlebitis; women who are older than 35 years or have had more than three pregnancies; and women who have had a cesarean birth. The client described in the correct option is least likely at risk for the development of a thromboembolic disorder because this client has a family history rather than a personal history of thrombophlebitis.
