- The nurse is reviewing principles of immunity. What type of immunity occurs when the body is exposed to a relatively harmless form of an antigen, which imprints this information on the body’s memory bank and stimulates the body’s defenses to resist any subsequent exposures?
| A. | Artificial active immunity |
| B. | Attenuating immunity |
| C. | Naturally acquired passive immunity |
| D. | Artificially acquired passive immunity |
ANS: A
Artificial active immunity causes an antigen-antibody response and stimulates the body’s defenses to resist any subsequent exposures. Passive immunity is conferred bypassing the host’s immune system and injecting the person with antiserum or concentrated antibodies obtained from other humans or animals; this gives the host direct means of fighting off an invading microorganism. The host’s immune system therefore does not have to manufacture these antibodies. This process also occurs when antibodies pass from mother to infant during breast-feeding or through the placenta during pregnancy (natural passive immunization).

| A. | Serum sickness |
| B. | Cross-sensitivity |
| C. | Thrombocytopenic purpura |

- A 12-month-old infant has received an MMR II (measles, mumps, and rubella virus vaccine), and her mother calls the clinic that afternoon to ask about helping her fussy infant to “feel better.” What should the nurse suggest?
| A. | Apply an ice pack to the injection site. |
| B. | Give the infant baaspirin for the pain. |
| C. | Apply warm compresses to the injection site. |
| D. | Observe the site for further swelling and redness. |
ANS: C
Applying warm compresses to the injection site and using acetaminophen (not aspirin, which carries the risk for Reye’s syndrome) should help to relieve the discomfort.

| A. | Hib vaccine |
| B. | Varicella virus vaccine (Varivax) |
| C. | Hepatitis B immunoglobulin |
| D. | Recombivax HB |
ANS: C
Recombivax HB promotes active immunity to hepatitis B infection in people who are considered to be at high risk for potential exposure to the virus, whereas hepatitis B immunoglobulin provides passive immunity for the prophylaxis and postexposure treatment of people exposed to hepatitis B virus or HBs-Ag–positive materials, such as blood, plasma, or serum.
