Match the type of immunity with its definition.
-This type of temporary protection or immunity is produced when a mother passes her immunity to her fetus through the placenta; generally, it only lasts for 3 to 6 months.

Accepted Answer

Passive natural immunity is the type of immunity that is produced when a mother passes her immunity to her fetus through the placenta.

Question 3

The term that refers to the spread of cancer to surrounding or distant areas of the body is

Accepted Answer

Metastasis is the correct term for the spread of cancer to other parts of the body. Relocation and referral do not specifically refer to the spread of cancer in medical terminology. Malignancy refers to the overall presence of cancerous cells, but does not specifically indicate metastasis.

Question 5

Common side effects of chemotherapy include all of the following EXCEPT

Accepted Answer

While nausea and vomiting, decreased blood counts, and hair loss are common side effects of chemotherapy, constipation is not typically associated with this treatment.

Question 6

Match the following terms with their definitions.
-Also known as CD cells, which are lymphocytes

Accepted Answer

T cells are also known as CD cells. B cells (A) are another type of lymphocyte that produce antibodies (C) in response to antigens (B).

Question 7

Parasitic diseases include all of the following EXCEPT

Accepted Answer

Ringworm is actually a fungal infection and is not caused by a parasite. The other options, malaria, lice, and scabies, are parasitic diseases.

Question 8

Match the following medications with their antimetabolite class.
-Alkylating agents

Accepted Answer

Cisplatin is an alkylating agent, which works by adding an alkyl group to the DNA, leading to DNA damage and cell death, particularly in rapidly dividing cells like cancer cells.

Question 9

The antituberculosis agent that causes body secretions to turn red-orange is

Accepted Answer

Rifampin is known to cause body secretions to turn red-orange, including urine, saliva, tears, sweat, and even clothing. Cycloserine and INH do not cause this side effect, and Amoxil is not an antituberculosis agent.

Question 10

Match the following medications with their antimetabolite class.
-Plant alkaloids

Accepted Answer

Vincristine is a plant alkaloid antimetabolite.

Note: None of the other medications on this list are plant alkaloid antimetabolites. Cisplatin is a platinum-containing alkylating agent, Leucovorin is a folic acid derivative, Bleomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic, Estradiol is a hormone, Interferon is a biological response modifier, Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody, Thalidomide is an immunomodulatory drug, and Brachytherapy seeds are a form of radiation therapy.

Question 11

The microorganism that cannot reproduce without a host is a

Accepted Answer

Only viruses require a host cell to reproduce. Bacteria, fungi, parasites, and protozoa can reproduce without a host.

Question 12

The medications used to treat tapeworms, roundworms, and flukes are known as

Accepted Answer

The medications used to treat tapeworms, roundworms, and flukes are specifically known as anthelmintics. Antiprotozoals are used to treat protozoan infections, pediculicides are used to treat lice infestations, and scabicides are used to treat scabies infections.

Question 13

Match the type of immunity with its definition.
-This type of temporary protection or immunity is produced when antibodies from a donor are given directly to a patient to teach the patient's immune system how to fight.

Accepted Answer

Passive artificial immunity is the temporary protection or immunity that occurs when antibodies from a donor are given directly to a patient. This differs from active artificial immunity, which occurs when a patient's immune system is stimulated to produce its own antibodies through vaccination or exposure to a weakened or dead pathogen. Passive natural immunity occurs when a baby receives antibodies from its mother through breast milk or placenta, while active natural immunity occurs when a person's immune system produces its own antibodies after being exposed to a pathogen.

Question 14

Which anti-infective category is most closely associated with the adverse reactions of nephron toxicity and ototoxicity?

Accepted Answer

Aminoglycosides are the most closely associated with the adverse reactions of nephron toxicity and ototoxicity. This is due to their mechanism of action which involves binding to the bacterial ribosome and disrupting protein synthesis, but can also bind to and damage human cells, particularly in the kidneys and inner ear.

Question 15

Match the following terms with their definitions.
-An invading foreign substance

Accepted Answer

Antigens are invading foreign substances, such as bacteria or viruses, that trigger the immune response. B cells and T cells are types of immune cells that play a role in the immune response, while antibodies are proteins produced by B cells to specifically target and neutralize antigens.

Question 16

Which of the following is a true statement about complications that are caused by the destruction of hematopoietic cells?

Accepted Answer

Destruction of hematopoietic cells can lead to lowered immunity and increased susceptibility to infections. Patients may require isolation or limited visitation to reduce their risk of infections. They may also need prophylactic antibiotics or antifungal medication to prevent infections.

Question 17

Match the type of immunity with its definition.
-This type of immunity is produced when the patient is given a vaccination of live, attenuated (weakened), or dead bacteria, virus, or toxoid, and the body forms antibodies.

Accepted Answer

Active artificial immunity is produced when the patient is given a vaccination of live, attenuated (weakened), or dead bacteria, virus, or toxoid, and the body forms antibodies. This type of immunity is acquired through medical intervention instead of naturally occurring.

Question 18

Match the following terms with their definitions.
-Memory cells

Accepted Answer

The answer of Match the following terms with their definitions.
-Memory...

Question 19

Match the following terms with their definitions.
-Immunoglobulins that fight invading foreign substances

Accepted Answer

Antibodies are immunoglobulins that fight invading foreign substances. B cells produce antibodies, T cells help regulate the immune response, and antigens are foreign substances that trigger an immune response.

Question 20

Match the type of immunity with its definition.
-This type of immunity is created when a microbe invades the body and the body learns to fight it, such as with the childhood disease chickenpox.

Accepted Answer

Active natural immunity is created when the body's own immune system develops a response to a particular pathogen, typically as a result of natural exposure to the pathogen. An example of active natural immunity is developing immunity to chickenpox after being infected with the virus.
