NUR150 ASSESSMENT 1 FUNDAMENTAL
CONCEPTS OF PRACTICAL NURSING I
PREPARATION SCRIPT 2026
COMPREHENSIVE Q&A ALREADY PASSED
◉ Adaptive (acquired) immunity Answer: Developed over lifetime with
memory of past diseases.
◉ Physical Barriers to infection Answer: skin, mucous membranes, cilia
of the raspatory tract
◉ Chemical barriers to infection Answer: acidic secretions, enzymes in
tears, substances in sweat glands
◉ Inflammatory response Answer: brief vasoconstriction followed by
vasodilation and increased blood flow and increased capillary
permeability, followed by congestion in tissues
◉ antigen Answer: substance that triggers an immune response
◉ Granulocytes Answer: neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils
◉ Monocytes Answer: macrophages and dendritic cells (bring bacteria
to B and T cells)
,◉ cellular immunity Answer: immune response that relies on T cells to
destroy infected body cells
◉ humoral immunity Answer: B cells produce antibodies after exposure
to specific antigens; type of adaptive immunity
◉ 4 stages of immune response Answer: 1. recognition
2. proliferation
3. response
4. effector
◉ What responses is the humoral response active in Answer:
anaphylaxis, allergic hay fever, asthma, auto immune diseases, bacterial
and some viral infections.
◉ B cells maturing Answer: Bone marrow stem cells produce B
lymphocytes, when they contact and antigen the remain as memory B
cells. If they don't they mature to plasma cells and make antibodies
◉ What responses is the cellular response responsible for? Answer:
Transplant rejects, Delayed hypersensitivity reactions (PPD and Poison
ivy), Graft vs host disease, tumor surveillance and destruction,
intracellular infections, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections.
◉ IgM Answer: first antibody produced
,◉ Know what each WBC does Answer: uhhh ok
◉ IgG Answer: crosses placenta, long term protection
◉ IgA Answer: passed from mother to child through breast Milk
◉ IgD Answer: no one knows what the hell this one does
◉ IgE Answer: allergic reactions
◉ T cell Maturation Answer: Bone marrow stem cells go to the thymus.
Hormones are secreted to make T lymphocytes. T lymphocytes become
effector cells which become T cytotoxic cells (CD8). T lymphocytes can
also become T regulator cells that differentiate into T helper cells (CD4)
and suppresser T-cell
◉ t suppressor cells Answer: suppress the immune response and inhibit
cytokines
◉ T cytotoxic cells Answer: Destroy pathogens and act as memory cells
◉ Stem cells Answer: Lots of new research. Hopefully for restoring
damaged immune systems and to help auto immune diseases
, ◉ Active immunity Answer: A form of acquired immunity in which the
body produces its own antibodies against disease-causing antigens or
vaccines
◉ passive Immunity Answer: the short-term immunity that results from
the introduction of antibodies from another person or animal.
◉ Artificial immunty Answer: not natural immunity
◉ Vaccine sources Answer: Live(attenuated), Killed (inactivated),
Toxoids ( made for the toxins produced by microorganisms ), mRNA
◉ who is intranasal vaccines not for Answer: immunocompromised or
respiratory vulnerability
◉ Vaccine Contraindications Answer: allergy, previous anaphylaxis,
severe sequela from previous vaccine, Immune globulin or other blood
product in the past 3 months, no live or attenuated for
immunocompromised or pregnant women.
◉ sequela Answer: a disorder or condition usually resulting from a
previous disease or injury
◉ Reyes syndrome Answer: potentially serious or deadly disorder that is
characterized by vomiting and confusion. from aspirin
