Answer to Question 1

B
The normal body pH range of blood is from 7.35 to 7.45; blood pH above (alkalosis) or below (acidosis) this range can cause profound physiologic problems. A blood pH level below 7.45 is within the normal range.

Answer to Question 2

B
The Good Samaritan Act protects off-duty health care workers from civil liability when they render aid within their specialized body of knowledge at the scene of an emergency. They are expected to provide care as would another professional with the same background and education.
