The nurse is educating a new mom on natural versus acquired immunity. What is an example of a statement by the mother that shows the nurse that she understood the teaching?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Acquired immunity develops after birth. This statement is correct because acquired immunity refers to the immunity that develops after exposure to antigens, such as through infection or vaccination. It involves the immune system recognizing and remembering specific pathogens to provide protection in the future. This shows the mother understands the difference between natural (innate) immunity, which is present at birth, and acquired immunity, which develops over time. Incorrect choices: A: Natural immunity develops when my baby receives immunizations - This is incorrect as immunizations are a form of acquired immunity. B: Natural immunity is only present before the baby is born - This is incorrect as natural immunity is present at birth and acquired immunity develops after birth. D: Acquired immunity develops only after exposure to an illness - This is incorrect as acquired immunity can also develop through vaccinations, not just exposure to illnesses.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: World AIDS Day is celebrated on December 1st globally to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS. This date was chosen to honor those who have died from the illness and support those living with it. Option A, May 12th, Option C, July 4th, and Option D, April 1st, are incorrect as they do not correspond to the designated date for World AIDS Day.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: Antibiotics are ineffective in treating irritable bowel syndrome because IBS is not caused by bacterial infections. IBS is a functional disorder of the digestive system. Antibiotics do not target the underlying causes of IBS such as altered gut motility or visceral hypersensitivity. Therefore, using antibiotics to treat IBS would not address the root of the problem and would be ineffective. Other choices are incorrect because antibiotics are not the primary treatment for IBS, they are not used for pain relief in IBS, and there is no age restriction for prescribing antibiotics in IBS treatment.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct first nursing action is to apply an ice pack and compression dressings to the knee. This is to reduce swelling and control bleeding in the affected area, which is crucial for a client with hemophilia. Initiating an IV site for cryoprecipitate or type and cross-matching for transfusion may be necessary later, but the priority is to manage the immediate swelling and bleeding. Monitoring vital signs can wait until the initial intervention of addressing the knee swelling is done. This choice helps stabilize the client's condition and prevent further complications.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Performing a rectal examination. This should be avoided in a child with leukemia at risk for bleeding because it can increase the risk of rectal trauma and bleeding. Stool softeners (choice A) are appropriate to prevent constipation and straining. Frequent position changes (choice B) help prevent pressure ulcers. Visits with friends and siblings (choice C) are important for the child's emotional well-being.
