Answer to Question 1

3

Rationale: Toxoids are toxins produced by bacteria that have been altered so that they are no longer toxic but their important antigenic receptor sites remain intact, enabling antibodies to be produced against the antigen-producing toxin. Therefore attenuated bacterium, nonattenuated virus, and specific antibody that will prevent infection through an antigen-antibody reaction are incorrect descriptions.

Answer to Question 2

3

Rationale: A client with no experience of handling infants may be fearful and reluctant to handle her newborn or to take on physical care on her own. Acceptance of her feelings and acknowl-edgment of the apprehension can help an unsure client begin to participate in caring for her newborn. Assistance will help the client become more at ease. Leaving the infant with the client so that she will be required to provide the care will produce additional apprehension.
