Self-Assessment Questions

Chapter 20: Concepts of Inflammation and the Immune Response


1. The client has a chronic disease in which the process of “self tolerance” is deficient. You should expect the client to demonstrate which alteration in immunologic function? The client:

A. is more susceptible to infection.
B. will not express a fever even when infection is present.
C. will not develop antibodies in response to a vaccination.
D. is at greater risk for tissue damage from autoimmune diseases.

Correct Answer: D


2. Which statement comparing inflammation and infection is true?

A. Manifestations of infection always include fever and inflammation is not associated with fever.
B. Inflammation is stimulated through B lymphocyte activation and infection is stimulated through T lymphocyte activation.
C. Inflammation occurs in response to tissue injury or tissue invasion and infection is always a response to tissue invasion.
D. The duration of inflammatory responses is always much longer than the duration of infectious responses.

Correct Answer: C


3. How are the actions of inflammation and the actions of cell-mediated immunity different?

A. Inflammation provides immediate but temporary protection against pathogenic microorganisms.
B. Protection provided by inflammation can be transferred from one person to another.
C. Cell-mediated actions result in fever.
D. Only T-lymphocytes can distinguish self from nonself.

Correct Answer: A


4. Which of the following manifestations or processes of inflammation is caused by increased capillary permeability?

A. Increased production of leukocytes
B. Warmth or fever
C. Phagocytosis
D. Swelling

Correct Answer: D


5. In reviewing a client’s laboratory report of white blood cell count with differential, all of the following results are listed. Which laboratory finding alerts you to the possibility of an acute bacterial infection? The:

A. number and percentage of macrophages are not listed.
B. total white blood cell count is 19,000/mm3.
C. neutrophils outnumber the lymphocytes.
D. monocytes are 2% of the total count.

Correct Answer: B


6. What is the purpose of complement activation and fixation?

A. Stimulating cell-mediated immune responses to recognize cancer cells.
B. Allowing antibody-mediated processes to assist neutrophils and macrophages in phagocytosis of invading microorganisms.
C. Protecting the body from the continuous overreactions of immune and inflammatory responses that lead to autoimmune disease.
D. Assisting the immune system to recognize an invading microorganism on second (or later) exposure so that a more rapid response can be mounted.

Correct Answer: B


7. How are antibody-mediated immunity and cell-mediated immunity different?

A. Cell-mediated functions provide immediate but temporary immunity and antibody-mediated immunity is longer lasting.
B. Cell-mediated immunity is most efficient at protection against viruses and pollens, whereas antibody-mediated immunity is most efficient at protection against cancer and large microorganisms.
C. Antibody-mediated immunity involves cell products (antibodies) that attack invaders and cell-mediated immunity requires direct cell-to-cell interactions to attack invaders.
D. Antibody-mediated immunity is an independent function and cell-mediated immunity requires the interaction of inflammation and antibody-mediated immune function to be fully active.

Correct Answer: C


8. The client, who has many serious health problems, has just been exposed to hepatitis B. Because this client might not survive an infection at this time, he is given human gamma globulin with a high concentration of antihepatitis antibodies. What type of immunity will result from this intervention?

A. Natural acquired active immunity
B. Artificial acquired active immunity
C. Natural acquired passive immunity
D. Artificial acquired passive immunity

Correct Answer: D

Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Lupus,Lymne Disease,psoriasis,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Brain Tumor,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity

Yes he is! I thank him so much so i will advise if you are suffering from one of those diseases Pls do contact him he's a nice man.
