ATI IMMUNE RESPONSE AND INFLAMMATION EXAM 2025 WITH 100%
ACCURATE SOLUTIONS
1. Which of the following describes stem cells?
Cells which are primarily responsible for destroying cancer cells
Undifferentiated cells from which B and T cells are generated.
Mature white blood cells involved in the immune response
Phagocytic cells which engulf foreign bodies
2. If a patient with rheumatoid arthritis shows a viral load of 50 copies/mL,
what could this indicate about their immune status?
The patient has a high risk of infection due to immune suppression.
The patient is likely experiencing an autoimmune flare-up.
The patient requires immediate treatment for high viral load.
The patient may have effective control over viral replication,
suggesting a stable immune status.
3. If a patient with rheumatoid arthritis develops ankylosis in their knee joint,
what might be a significant consequence for their mobility?
Increased flexibility of the knee joint
Limited range of motion in the knee joint
Complete recovery of joint function without intervention
Enhanced strength in the knee joint
4. What is the primary purpose of DMARDs in treating inflammatory
conditions?
Promoting cell division
,Increasing immune response
, Decreasing inflammation & slowing disease progression
Enhancing pain perception
5. In a scenario where a patient has a compromised immune system, how
might the process of phagocytosis be affected?
Phagocytosis would only affect the production of antibodies, not
the removal of pathogens.
Phagocytosis would remain unchanged, as it is not affected by
immune system status.
The efficiency of phagocytosis may be reduced, leading to an
increased risk of infections.
Phagocytosis would become more efficient, enhancing the
immune response.
6. Which enzyme is commonly elevated as an indicator of liver
inflammation?
Creatine kinase
ALT
C-reactive protein
Aminotransferase
7. Describe the role of B cells in the immune response and where they are
generated.
B cells help in phagocytosis and are produced in the lymph
nodes.
B cells are responsible for antibody production and are
produced in the bone marrow.
B cells are involved in cell-mediated immunity and are produced
in the thymus.
, B cells regulate inflammation and are produced in the spleen.
8. What does a CBC w/ differential measure in relation to white blood cells?
The level of hemoglobin in the blood
The presence of platelets
The percentage of the five types of white blood cell
The total number of red blood cells
9. Describe how peritoneal dialysis can lead to peritonitis.
Peritoneal dialysis has no effect on the risk of infection.
Peritoneal dialysis strengthens the immune response against
infections.
Peritoneal dialysis can introduce bacteria into the peritoneal
cavity, leading to infection.
Peritoneal dialysis removes bacteria from the bloodstream.
10. Describe the condition known as ankylosis and its potential impact on
joint function.
Ankylosis is a temporary condition that resolves without
treatment.
Ankylosis is a condition that enhances joint mobility and flexibility.
Ankylosis refers to the stiffness of a joint resulting from injury
or disease, which can severely limit movement and flexibility.
Ankylosis is caused solely by genetic factors without any external
influence.
11. If a person has a compromised skin barrier due to a severe burn, how
might this affect their immune response?
