Exam 1 - NR283 / NR 283 (Latest ) :
Pathophysiology - Chamberlain
1). A client receiving an influenza vaccine (flu shot) asks when the immunization will be
effective. the nurse response based on the knowledge that after receiving the vaccine, the
levels of immunoglobulin m (igm) are high enough to provide immunization (select all that
apply)
a. immediately
b. 14 days
c. 10 days
d. 7 days
e. 48 hours
f. 24 hours
Ans: D. 7 days
IgM levels will peak approximately one week (7 days) after vaccination. The client will
continue to be susceptible to influenza prior to that time.
2). And elderly client is concerned about catching influenza. the nurse understands that which
immune system function changes occur with increased age? (select all that apply)
a. decreased levels of circulating autoantibodies
b. increased thymic hormone production
c. diminished t cell function
d. reduced antibody response
Ans: C. Diminished T cell function
D. Reduced antibody response
Due to their age, elderly clients will have diminished T cell function and reduced antibody
response. The older adult will also have decreased thyme hormone production and
increased levels of circulating autoantibodies.
3). Antigen
Ans: foreign substance

, 4). Antibody
Ans: humoral response protein
5). Thymus
Ans: T lymphocytes maturation
6). Bone marrow
Ans: source of stem cells
7). Neutrophils
Ans: nonspecific phagocyte
are phagocytic cells
Neutrophils are white blood cells for phagocytosis, nonspecific defenses, active in the
inflammatory process.
8). Basophils
Ans: anaphylaxis
9). Eosinophils
Ans: parasites
10). Monocyte
Ans: macrophages
11). Mast cells
Ans: histamine in connective tissue
12). B lymphocytes
Ans: memory
13). Plasma cells
