Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The second line of defense is the inflammatory response. Inflammation is a local response to cellular injury or infection that includes capillary dilation and leukocyte infiltration. The immune response is the body's attempt to protect itself from foreign and harmful substances. Humoral immunity is an adaptive immunity and normal flora is a group of non-disease-causing microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, fungi, protozoa) that live in or on the body.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C
Inadequate lighting presents safety concerns in home, work, community, and health care environments. For an individual to safely and successfully navigate pathways and perform various activities while avoiding potential obstacles and hazards, the environment must be well illuminated. Well-lit, glare-free halls, stairways, rooms, and work spaces help to reduce the risk of tripping, slipping, and falling. Night lights reduce the risk of injuries to children, guests, and older adults.
