Study Guide
Jefferson State Community College
This Document Description:
❖ This all-in-one study guide for NUR 114 at Jefferson
State Community College consolidates content from
Exams 1 through 5 as well as the Final Exam.
❖ It covers critical topics in maternal-newborn nursing,
including antepartum, intrapartum, postpartum, and
newborn care, along with pharmacology, complications, and patient
education.
❖ The document is ideal for cumulative exam review and provides a clear,
structured outline to support comprehensive understanding.

Exam One: Sexuality/Immunity/Cellular Regulation
Immunity – The body’s ability to resist disease by a state of response to foreign
substances, such as microorganisms.
Types of Immunity:
• Innate
o Present at birth
o First line of defense against pathogens
o Involves a non-specific response, neutrophils and monocytes are
the primary WBCs involved
o Not antigen specific, so it can respond within minutes to an
invading microorganism without prior exposure to that
organism
o Inflammation is part of innate immunity and serves as a barrier to
invasion, inflammation does not always mean infection, but
infection is commonly accompanied by inflammation.
• Active Acquired (Synthesized)
o Developed immunity from invasion of foreign substances
o May result naturally or through vaccination
o Because the antibodies are synthesized, this produces longer lasting
immunity to a specific substance
o With each invasion, the body responds more actively and aggressively
• Passive Acquired (Not Synthesized)
o Developed immunity from received antibodies to an antigen without
, synthesizing them
o Immediate immune effect, but short lived
o May take place through a transfer of immunoglobulins across the
placental membrane in a fetus
, o Artificial passive acquired immunity occurs through the injection
Antigens – Substances the body
recognizes as foreign that illicit an
immune response. The body’s
unique antigens are human
leukocyte antigens (HLAs) known as
the person’s cellular fingerprint.
Antibodies – Immune globulins
produced by lymphocytes in
response to antigens. Primary
response is evident 4 to 8 days after
initial exposure to antigen.
of serum antibodies
Humoral vs. Cell-Mediated Immunity
• Humoral
o Bacteria
o Viruses (extracellular)
o Respiratory Pathogens
o GI Pathogens
• Cell-Mediated
o Fungus
o Viruses (intracellular)
o Chronic Infectious Agents
o Tumor Cells
Immune Response in Lymphoid Organs and Tissues
⟶ When antigens are introduced into the body, they are carried by the
bloodstream or lymph channels to regional lymph nodes, the antigens
then interact with the B and T lymphocytes and macrophages in the
