The nursing student correctly describes the process of phagocytosis as:
 
  1. The initial reaction in the inflammatory response
  2. A protein produced in response to a viral infection
  3. A process required for the production of antibodies
  4. A process whereby a particle is ingested and digested by a cell

Question 2

  Which of the following clients would be least likely at risk for the development of thrombophlebitis in the postpartum period? 1. A 35-year-old client who reports that she smokes
  2. A 26-year-old client with a family history of thrombophlebitis
  3. A 37-year-old client in her fourth pregnancy who is overweight

Answer to Question 1

4

Rationale: Phagocytosis, an important nonspecific immune response, is a process in which the particle is ingested and digested by a cell. The other options are incorrect.

Answer to Question 2

2

Rationale: Certain factors create a risk for the development of thrombophlebitis. These factors include smoking; varicose veins; obesity; a history of thrombophlebitis; women who are older than 35 years or have had more than three pregnancies; and women who have had a cesarean birth. The client described in the correct option is least likely at risk for the development of a thromboembolic disorder because this client has a family history rather than a personal history of thrombophlebitis.
