Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse should include in the teaching session that immunity can be acquired through immunization or exposure to the natural disease. This is because both methods stimulate the body's immune system to produce antibodies and memory cells, thus providing immunity against future infections. Option B, C, and D are not accurate statements as exposure to diseases can also result in infection and newborns are not born with diseases in their systems, but rather acquire them postnatally.
