1. Which type of immunity will clients acquire through 2
immunizations with live or killed vaccines?
1.Natural active immunity
2.Artificial active immunity
3.Natural passive immunity
4.Artificial passive immunity
2. The 8-year-old son of migrant farm workers is brought 1
to the county health clinic. He has no history of im-
munizations. After measles is diagnosed, the public
health nurse goes to the migrant camp to search for
people with a greater-than-average chance of con-
tracting the disease. What is the name of this vari-
able?
1. Risk factor
2. Frequency rate
3. Probability rate
4. Causative factor
3. A 5-year-old-child is undergoing chemotherapy. The 3
mother tells the nurse that the child is not up to date
on the required immunizations for school. What is the
best response by the nurse?
1. "By this time your child has developed sufficient
antibodies to provide immunity."
2. "Maintaining current immunizations is critical.
Make sure the series is completed."
3. "This isn't the best time to finish the immunizations,
because your child's immune system is suppressed."
4. "It's important to complete the immunizations be-
cause your child needs to be protected from child-
hood diseases that could be fatal."

4. Before administering the first series of immunizations 1
to a 2-month-old infant, the nurse tells the parent that
reactions may occur. What are the characteristics of
these reactions?
1. Local or systemic and usually mild
2. Often serious, possibly requiring hospitalization
3. Sometimes causing ulceration at the injection site
4. May be responsible for permanent neurological
damage
5. The parents of an infant ask a nurse why their baby is 2
not receiving the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR)
vaccine at the same time that other immunizations are
being given. What explanation should the nurse give
about why the MMR vaccine is administered at 12 to
15 months of age?
1. There is an increased risk of side effects in infants.
2. Maternal antibodies provide immunity for about 1
year.
3. It interferes with the effectiveness of vaccines given
during infancy.
4. There are rare instances of these infections occur-
ring during the first year of life
6. The nursing student accompanies a group of regis- 1
tered nurses in a campaign that promotes the par-
ticipation of parents to get their children immunized.
After the campaign's completion, the group prepares
a report that counts the number of immunizations
and compares it to last year's report. Which type of re-
search does the nursing student think that the group

is doing?
1. Evaluation research
2. Descriptive research
3. Experimental research
4. Correlational research
7. A toddler with a puncture wound to the sole is brought 2
to the emergency department. Because of a language
barrier the caregiver cannot provide a clear histo-
ry of previous tetanus immunizations. Tetanus im-
munoglobulin (TIG) is prescribed by the healthcare
provider. The nurse explains to the caregiver that this
medication is given because it has what action?
1. Produces lifelong passive immunity to tetanus
2. Confers short-term passive defense against
tetanus
3. Induces long-lasting active protection from tetanus
4. Stimulates the production of antibodies to fight
tetanus
8. A 6-month-old infant is to receive scheduled immu- 3
nizations. The parents ask why two influenza vaccines
are given: Haemophilus influenzae type B (Hib) and
pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV). How should
the nurse respond?
1. PCV prevents influenza.
2. Hib is given to prevent pneumonia.
3. Hib and PCV prevent different bacterial diseases.
4. PCV and Hib are given together to protect against
viral and bacterial diseases

A school nurse is teaching high school girls regard-
ing the importance of immunizations. Which newborn
anomaly can occur if rubella is contracted during the
first trimester of pregnancy?
1. Limb abnormalities
2. Hydrocephalus
3. Down syndrome
4. Cardiac anomalies
10. A school nurse is teaching the parents of school-aged 1
children about the importance of immunizations for
the childhood communicable diseases. What pre-
ventable disease may have the complication of en-
cephalitis?
1. Varicella
2. Scarlet fever
3. Poliomyelitis
4. Whooping cough
11. A 7-year-old child is brought to the emergency de- 3
partment with a puncture wound on the sole. It is de-
termined that the child's history of immunizations is
uncertain, and tetanus immune globulin and tetanus
vaccine are prescribed and administered. What is
the priority reason for using tetanus immune human
globulin instead of tetanus antitoxin?
1. It is as effective as the antitoxin.
2. It is safe to give to everyone who needs it.
3. The risk for an anaphylactic reaction is less.
4. Skin tests are not needed with the human globulin.
