Answer to Question 1

A
Immunizations often reduce or prevent the transmission of disease from person to person. Immunization is the process by which resistance to an infectious disease is produced or increased. The body acquires active immunity by injection of a small amount of weakened or dead organisms and modified toxins from the organism (toxoids) into the body.

Answer to Question 2

D
The liver degrades many harmful chemicals before they are distributed to the tissues. If a decrease in liver function occurs, such as with aging or liver disease, the body slowly eliminates a medication, resulting in a buildup of the medication. When organs that metabolize medications do not function correctly, patients are at risk for medication toxicity.
