RNSG 1128 Final Questions with Answers (100% Correct
Answers)
Immune response attributes Answer: normal WBC and differential
count, negative bacterial and viral cx, soft, non-tender lymph nodes,
recognition of self and of forein proteins
Immune response antecedents Answer: Intact non-specific defense or
barriers, functional lymphatic system, optimal innate immune
response, functional inflammatory response, appropriate adaptive
acquired immune response- active and passive
Immune system -positive response Answer: replace damaged tissue
and cells, recognize and remove cell mutations and abnormal cell
growths, protects from invasion of microorganisms and other antigens
Immune system- negative response Answer: Infxn-localized or
systemic, cancer, immune suppression, immune deficiency, chronic
inflammatory, allergic, cytotoxic, autoimmune
Inflammatory response Answer: Protective mechanism that eliminates
the invading pathogen and allows for tissue repair to occur. Helps the
body to neutralize, control, or eliminate the offending agent and to

prepare the site for repair. Also occurs in response to injury- acute or
chronic
Cardinal signs of acute infxn Answer: Redness, heat, swelling, pain,
loss of funtion, usually appearing at the site of injury or inflammation
Main components of inflammatory process Answer: Vascular and
cellular stages
Vascular stage Answer: The first stage of response to injury when
blood vessels become more permeable
Cellular stage Answer: White blood cells enter the injured tissue:
-Destroying infective organisms
-Removing damaged cells
-Releasing more inflammatory mediators to control further
inflammation and healing
Acquired/adaptive immunity Answer: Develops as a result of prior
exposure to an antigen thru immunization (vaccination) or by
contracting a disease. "Protective immune response". Takes weeks or
even months

Cell-mediated immune response Answer: Involves T-cell activation
Effector mechanism Answer: Involves B-cell maturation and
production of antibodies
2 types of acquired immunity Answer: Active and passive
Active acquired immunity Answer: Immunologic defenses developed
by the person's own body. Typically lasts many years or even a
lifetime
Passive acquired immunity Answer: Temporary immunity transmitted
from a source outside of the body that has developed immunity thru
prev dz or immunization. Ex: breastfeeding or injections of
immunoglobulin
Immune-primary prevention Answer: Prevent dz or injury before it
occurs; vaccination
Immune-secondary prevention Answer: Reduce impact of a dz or
injury that has already occurred; exams and screening
Immune- tertiary prevention Answer: Soften impact of ongoing illness
that has lasting effects; rehab or support groups
