Which is the predominant immunoglobulin produced 1. Immunoglobulin G (IgG)
after a host's re-exposure to an antigen?
1. Immunoglobulin G is the predominant immunoglobulin produced after a
1. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) host's re-exposure to an antigen. IgG comprises 75% to 80% of the total serum
2. Immunoglobulin A (IgA) immunoglobulins.
3. Immunoglobulin E (IgE) 2. Immunoglobulin A comprises 7% to 15% of the total serum immunoglobulins.
4. Immunoglobulin D (IgD) IgA is mainly found in saliva and nasal secretions.
3. Immunoglobulin E is generally present in a low concentration in the blood,
but it increases during allergic reactions.
4. Immunoglobulin D comprises only 1% of total serum immunoglobulins.

A 27-year-old client is pregnant. The blood group of 1. IgM
the client and the fetus are incompatible. Which
antibodies produced by the mother against the fetus's 1. During pregnancy, if the mother and fetus have incompatible blood types,
blood cells do not affect the fetus? IgM antibodies will be developed by the mother against the fetus's blood cells.
However, because of the large size of IgM antibodies, they cannot cross the
1. IgM placenta, and the fetus is protected.
2. IgG 2. During pregnancy, if the mother and fetus have incompatible blood types,
3. IgD IgM antibodies will be developed by the mother against the fetus's blood cells.
4. none of the above The mother will not produce IgG antibodies in the given situation.
3. During pregnancy, if the mother and fetus have incompatible blood types,
IgM antibodies will be developed by the mother against the fetus's blood cells.
The mother will not produce IgD antibodies in the given situation.
4. The option "none of the above" is incorrect because IgM antibodies are
developed by the mother against the fetus's blood cells in the given condition.

, Which immunity is developed by an individual after 2. Active acquired adaptive immunity
experiencing illness?
1. Innate immunity is the natural mechanism of the body that wards off foreign
1. Innate immunity bodies as a first line of defense. Mucous producing cells are part of the body's
2. Active acquired adaptive immunity innate immunity mechanism.
3. Passive acquired adaptive immunity 2. Active acquired adaptive immunity is obtained through exposure to an
4. None of the above antigen. It is developed after an individual experiences an illness.
3. Passive acquired adaptive immunity is obtained by an individual after he or
she is given pre-made, fully formed antibodies, such as vaccines, against an
antigen.
4. The option 'none of the above" is incorrect because the immunity developed
by an individual after he or she experiences an illness is active acquired
adaptive immunity.

Which is an example of passive acquired adaptive 1. Newborns receiving immunity through breast milk
immunity?
1. When a breastfed infant receives fully formed, maternally produced
1. Newborns receiving immunity through breast milk antibodies through breast milk, the infant acquires passive acquired adaptive
2. Individuals becoming immune to chickenpox after immunity.
infection 2. When an individual contracts chicken pox infection, the individual develops
3. Individuals becoming immune to measles after active acquired adaptive immunity.
infection 3. After an individual contracts measles infection, the individual develops active
4. None of the above acquired adaptive immunity.
4. The option "none of the above' is incorrect because a newborn acquiring
immunity through breast milk is an example of passive acquired adaptive
immunity.

IgA is found most in 1. Tears.
1. Tears. 1. IgA is mainly found in tears, saliva, nasal secretions, respiratory secretions,
2. Plasma. and gastrointestinal fluids.
3. Blood. 2. IgA comprises only 7% to 15% of the total serum immunoglobulins. It is found
4. All of the above. more in saliva, nasal secretions, breast milk, and so on.
3. IgG comprises approximately 75% to 85% of the immunoglobulins present in
the blood.
4. The answer option "all of the above' is incorrect because IgA is mainly found
in secretions such as tears.

A registered nurse is teaching nursing students about 4. All of the above.
passive acquired adaptive immunity. Which statement
made by a student nurse indicates effective learning? 1. Passive acquired adaptive immunity can be acquired immediately after
administration of a vaccine or immunoglobulin.
1. "It provides immediate immunity." 2. Passive acquired adaptive immunity is a short-term immunity compared to
2. "It is a short-term immunity." active acquired adaptive immunity, which is a long-lasting immunity.
3. "It is not associated with immunologic memory." 3. In active acquired adaptive immunity, the body recognizes the antigens and
4. All of the above. remembers the antigen, whereas in passive acquired adaptive immunity, the
body does not remember the antigen. It is not associated with immunologic
memory.
4. The answer option "all of the above" is correct because all the answer
options are characteristics of passive acquired adaptive immunity.
