Answer to Question 1
Correct Answer: 1
Each body cell displays specific cell surface characteristics, or markers, that are unique to each person. These are known as human leukocyte antigens. The possibility of two people having the same human leukocyte antigen type is extremely remote. Some siblings have very similar patterns. In organ transplants, matching the human leukocyte antigen type as closely as possible tends to reduce the risk of rejection. If the human leukocyte antigen type were different, the surgery would not be successful. There is not enough information to determine if either patient or donor has an overactive immune system.
Answer to Question 2
Correct Answer: 1
With an incompetent immune system, the body is unable to defend itself against invading microorganisms. The purpose of isolation is to protect the patient from developing or picking up a disease from someone else. The nurse does not need to ask the physician about the patient's isolation. The patient does not have a specific disease that might spread. The patient may be on medication; however, it is not to treat a specific disease.
