Answer to Question 4

Ans: D
Feedback:
The nurse is referring to passive immunity. The injection of ready-made antibodies found in the serum of immune individuals or animals is called passive immunity. When a person is exposed to antigens, the body begins to form antibodies. This is called active immunity. Humoral and cell-mediated immunity involve the action by B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes.
