Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Many factors affect the risk for infection, including age, sex, race, and heredity. Neonates and older adults, especially those who have preexisting illnesses, appear to be more vulnerable to infection.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The body has various defenses against infection, including normal flora and the inflammatory response. One of the most effective is the immune response, which involves specific reactions in the body as it responds to an invading foreign protein, such as bacteria. The foreign material is called an antigen, and the body commonly responds by producing an antibody. Race, body size and shape, and level of susceptibility do not affect defense against infection.
