Answer to Question 1

3
Innate immunity or natural immunity is present at birth. It is nonspecific. Acquired immunity is immunity not present at birth and can also be adaptive or specific.

Answer to Question 2

2
Infection often accompanies the inflammation of the appendix. The nurse would be looking for an elevated WBC count. Serum sodium, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and bilirubin levels are not necessarily indicated in the care of a client diagnosed with appendicitis.
