Immune System NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client in the HCP's office is complaining of allergic rhinitis. Which assessment question is important for the nurse to ask the client?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Seasonal patterns help identify allergic rhinitis triggers. Medications, family history, and client beliefs are secondary.
Question 2 of 5
The client diagnosed with RA is being seen in the outpatient clinic. Which preventive care should the nurse include in the regularly scheduled clinic visits?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Flu and pneumonia vaccines prevent infections, critical in RA due to immunosuppression. X-rays, ESR, and joint assessments are diagnostic, not preventive.
Question 3 of 5
The 26-year-old female client is complaining of a low-grade fever, arthralgias, fatigue, and a facial rash. Which laboratory tests should the nurse expect the HCP to order if SLE is suspected?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: CBC and ANA tests detect anemia, leukopenia, and autoantibodies, supporting SLE diagnosis. Metabolic, lipid, and renal tests are less specific initially.
Question 4 of 5
The school nurse is preparing to teach a health class to ninth graders regarding sexually transmitted diseases. Which information regarding acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) should be included?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Abstinence is the only certain way to prevent sexually transmitted HIV. Birth control pills, vaccines, and immune status do not eliminate risk.
Question 5 of 5
Which discharge instruction should the nurse implement for the client newly diagnosed with myasthenia gravis (MG)?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Avoiding fatigue and stress prevents myasthenia gravis exacerbations. Padding, pain therapies, and splenectomy are irrelevant.
