Tetanus toxoid is prescribed for a client who has sustained a foot laceration from a piece of metal while walking barefoot on the beach. The nurse understands that the toxoid is a(n):
 
  1. Attenuated bacterium
  2. Nonattenuated virus
  3. Toxin produced by bacteria that has been altered so that it is no longer toxic
  4. Specific antibody that will prevent infection through an antigen-antibody reaction

Question 2

The nurse is assisting a new client with learning how to care for her newborn. The nurse notes that the client is very fearful and reluctant to handle the newborn and notes that this is the client's first child.

  2. Acknowledging the client's apprehension

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.
