Question 1 of 5
What are the two phases of Type I hypersensitivity?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Immediate phase and late phase. In Type I hypersensitivity, the immediate phase occurs rapidly after exposure to an allergen, leading to the release of mediators like histamine. The late phase occurs several hours later, involving sustained inflammatory response. A: Early phase and latent phase - Incorrect because the terms do not accurately describe the phases of Type I hypersensitivity. C: Acute phase and chronic phase - Incorrect because Type I hypersensitivity does not typically progress to a chronic phase. D: Primary phase and secondary phase - Incorrect as these terms are not commonly used to describe the phases of Type I hypersensitivity.
Question 2 of 5
What receptor is targeted in Grave's disease, a Type V hypersensitivity reaction?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) receptor. In Grave's disease, autoantibodies bind to and activate the TSH receptor on thyroid cells, leading to hyperthyroidism. This is a Type II hypersensitivity reaction. Insulin receptor (A) is not involved in Grave's disease. Complement receptor (C) is not the target in this condition. CD4 receptor (D) is primarily involved in T cell activation, not in Grave's disease.
Question 3 of 5
What is the role of macrophages in granuloma formation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B because macrophages play a crucial role in granuloma formation by engulfing antigens but failing to destroy them, leading to the formation of a cluster of immune cells to contain the persistent antigen. Macrophages present antigens to T cells, triggering an immune response. Other choices are incorrect as macrophages do not neutralize histamine, stimulate IgE production, or produce antibodies against antigens in the context of granuloma formation.
Question 4 of 5
A client is in the hospital and has received two doses of an angiotensin-converting enzyme for hypertension. When the nurse answers the client's call light, the client presents an appearance as shown below: What action by the nurse takes is most appropriate?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct action by the nurse is to ensure a patent airway while calling the Rapid Response Team (Choice C). This is because the client is showing signs of angioedema, a potential adverse reaction to angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Angioedema can lead to airway compromise and respiratory distress, hence ensuring a patent airway is crucial. Additionally, calling the Rapid Response Team will allow for immediate medical intervention and monitoring of the client's condition. Choice A (Administer epinephrine) is incorrect as epinephrine is not the first-line treatment for angioedema associated with ACE inhibitors. Choice B (Apply oxygen) is not sufficient to address the potential airway compromise. Choice D (Reassure the client) is inappropriate as the client's condition requires immediate action to address the potential airway obstruction.
