    3. “Acquired immunity develops after birth.”
    4. “Acquired immunity develops only after exposure to an illness.”
    3 .
    What is a rationale that reflects the importance of the nurse asking a patient about their immunization history?
    1. to assess the patient’s immunity against diseases and determine the need for further immunizations
    2. to evaluate the patient’s dietary habits and potential nutrient deficiencies
    3. to identify any genetic predispositions to autoimmune diseases
    4. to determine the patient’s level of compliance for preventive care
    4 .
    What is a statement that correctly contrasts benign tumors and malignant tumors?
    1. Benign tumors are noncancerous and can spread to other cells; malignant tumors are cancerous and do not spread to other cells.
    2. Benign tumors are cancerous and can spread to other cells; malignant tumors are noncancerous and do not spread to other cells.
    3. Benign tumors are cancerous and do not spread to other cells; malignant tumors are noncancerous and can spread to other cells.
    4. Benign tumors are noncancerous and do not spread to other cells; malignant tumors are cancerous and can spread to other cells.
    5 .
    The nurse is reviewing the chart of a patient who has been prescribed tacrolimus to prevent organ rejection after a transplant. What category of immunosuppressant does this drug fall into?
    1. corticosteroid
    2. antimetabolite
    3. calcineurin inhibitor
    4. monoclonal antibody
    6 .
    What is the primary characteristic of an autoimmune disease?

    2. The immune system attacks the body’s own healthy tissues.
    3. The immune system is overactive and produces excessive antibodies.
    4. The immune system is suppressed and cannot fight infections effectively.
    7 .

    A patient has recently been diagnosed with psoriasis, and a nurse is educating them about the disorder. What is an example of a statement by the mother that shows the nurse that she understood the teaching?
    1. “Too much collagen is produced and deposited into the skin, leading to buildup.”
    2. “Uncontrolled keratinocyte proliferation causes plaque buildup.”
    3. “Inflammation from the joints spreads to the skin.”
    4. “Contact with allergens leads to inflammation of the skin.”
    9 .
    Primary immunodeficiencies are passed through what mechanism?
    1. IgM
    2. B cells
    3. antibodies
