Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, C
Feedback:
Both vaccines and toxoids are administered to stimulate the body's immune response to specific antigens or toxins. These agents must be administered before exposure to the disease-causing organism. The initiation of the immune response, in turn, produces resistance to a specific infectious disease. The immunity produced in this manner is active immunity.

Feedback:
The following is true in regard to the use of immune globulin: globulins are proteins present in blood serum or plasma that contain antibodies, globulins are given as passive immunity against disease, immune globulin can be obtained from human and animal blood, clients receiving immune globulins receive antibodies only to the diseases to which donor blood is immune, and the onset of protection is rapid but the duration of action is short (1 to 3 months).
