2)Memory.
3)Inflammation.
4)Antibodies.

Answer 1

3

Question 2

A key aspect of the specific immune system is:
1)Recognition of common bacterial receptors.
2)Memory.
3)Inflammation.
4)Complement.

Answer 2

2

Question 3

Plasma cells are:
1)Macrophages that devour bacteria.
2)Activated B lymphocytes that produce immunoglobulins specific to an antigen.
3)Monocytes that are found in an exudate.
4)Antigens that produce a diffuse immune response.

Answer 3

2

Question 4

The inflammatory mediator responsible for pain that is targeted by ibuprofen is:
1)Complement.
2)Histamine.
3)Prostaglandins.
4)C-reactive protein.
5)Leukotrienes.

Question 5

Epithelial tissues contain
1)Marrow tissue.
2)Lymph nodes.
3)Thymus tissue.
4)Lymphoid tissue.

Question 6

The specific immune system recognizes:
1)Phosphocholine.
2)Antigens.
3)Histamine.
4)Mannose.

Question 7

Edema in inflammation is caused by:
1)Increased blood flow.
2)Fluid overload.
3)Blocked lymphatic drainage.
4)Increased capillary permeability.

Question 8

Common properties of both the cell-mediated and humoral immune systems include: (Select all that apply.)
1)Self-recognition: the ability to recognize the body's own proteins and refrain from attacking them.
2)Recognition of common pathogenic features such as mannose in bacterial cell walls.
3)Specificity: the ability to react with molecules bearing a specific marker.
4)Both react in the same way regardless of the nature of the offending agents.
5)Memory: the ability to mount a more rapid attack on a foreign antigen because of previous exposure.
6)Self-regulation: the ability to "turn on" when a foreign antigen invades and to "turn off" when the invasion has been eradicated.

Question 9

Activation of the humoral immune system by an antigen results in the production of:
1)Sensitized T lymphocytes.
2)Immunoglobulins (antibodies)specific for the antigen.
3)Macrophages specific for the immunogen.
4)Sensitized natural killer (NK)cells.

Question 10

A client has been stung by a bee.The site is warm, red, and swollen.The nurse suspects the cause is:
1)Complement.
2)Histamine.
3)Prostaglandins.
4)C-reactive protein.
5)Leukotrienes.

Question 11

Erythema is caused by:
1)Increased blood flow.
2)Fluid overload.
3)Blocked lymphatic drainage.
4)Increased capillary permeability.

Question 12

Where do T cells mature?
1)Bone marrow
2)Lymph nodes
3)Thymus gland
4)Spleen

Question 13

The cells of the nonspecific body defense that are phagocytic are: (Select all that apply.)
1)Neutrophils.
2)Basophils.
3)Macrophages.
4)Mast cells.

Question 14

A client has been diagnosed with cancer.Which of the following aspects of the lymphatic system could the cancer use to spread?
1)Spleen
2)Lymph vessels
3)Tonsils
4)Thymus gland

Question 15

The nurse assesses a client's infection site.The site is warm.The warmth is caused by:
1)Increased blood flow.
2)Fluid overload.
3)Blocked lymphatic drainage.
4)Increased capillary permeability.

Question 16

A component of the nonspecific body defense system that mechanically removes foreign matter is:
1)Nasal turbinates.
2)Skin.
3)Bronchociliary escalator.
4)Saliva.

Question 17

Which chemical can recognize common features of bacteria?
1)C-reactive protein (CRP)
2)Clotting factors
3)Complement
4)Von Willebrand's factor

Question 18

The function of histamine during acute inflammation is to:
1)Cause vasodilation and increased vascular permeability.
2)Stimulate white blood cell production.
3)Stimulate platelet production.
4)Stimulate red blood cell production.
