Qs&As|A+GRADE ASSURED:-WILKES UNIVERSITY
A patient was diagnosed as HIV positive several years ago. Which of the
following blood tests is most clinically useful for determining the stage and
severity of her disease?
CD4+ cell counts
When the maternal immune system becomes sensitized against antigens
expressed by the fetus, what type of immune reaction occurs? (transfusions,
transplant tissues, pregnancy)
Alloimmune
A 10-year-old male is stung by a bee while playing in the yard. He begins
itching and develops pains, swelling, redness and respiratory difficulties. He is
suffering from:
anaphylaxis
When a patient presents at the ED for an allergic reaction, the nurse
recognized the most severe consequences of a type I hypersensitivity reaction
is:
,anaphylaxis
A nurse recalls that an example of an immune-complex-mediated disease is:
serum sickness
When a nurse cares for a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), the
nurse remembers this disease is an example of:
autoimmunity (disturbance in immunologic tolerance of self-antigens)
A 30-year-old female c/o fatigue, arthritis, rash and changes in urine color.
Laboratory testing reveals anemia, lymphopenia and kidney inflammation.
Assuming a diagnosis of SLE, which of the following is also likely to be
present?
Autoantibodies
A 40-year-old is diagnosed with SLE. Which of the following findings would be
considered a symptom of this disease?
Photosensitivity + facial rash confined to cheeks (malar rash)
,A person is given an attenuated antigen as a vaccine. When the person asks
what was given in the vaccine, how should the nurse respond? The antigen is:
alive, but less infectious.
An immunologist is discussing endotoxin production. Which information
should the immunologist include? Endotoxins are produced by:
gram-negative bacteria.
A 50-year-old female experiences decreased blood pressure, decreased oxygen
delivery, cardiovascular shock and subsequent death. A complication of
endotoxic shock is suspected. Which of the following is the most likely cause?
Gram-negative bacteria
Which information indicates a correct understanding of viral vaccines? Most
viral vaccines contain:
attenuated viruses.
A 22-year-old was recently diagnosed with acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS). Which decreased lab finding would be expect to accompany
this virus?
CD4+ T-helper
, A 30-year-old male was diagnosed with HIV. Which of the following
treatments would be most effective?
Antiretroviral therapy (ART)
When the immunologist says that pathogens possess virulence, what does
virulence mean?
Causes disease.
A patient has a tissue growth that was diagnosed as cancer. Which of the
following terms best described this growth?
Neoplasm
Which information indicates a nurse understands characteristics of malignant
tumors?
Has a high mitotic index
A nurse is discussing preinvasive epithelial tumors of glandular or squamous
cell origin. What is the nurse describing?
