Answer to Question 1

2. Having chickenpox

Rationale:
When the client has the disease, the body stimulates the process of acquired active immunity. Receiving injections for rabies, tetanus, and gamma globulin are examples of artificially acquired passive immunity.

Answer to Question 2

3. Semi-Fowler's on the unaffected side

Rationale:
The client should be placed in the semi-Fowler's or Fowler's position on the unaffected side. Elevating the head of the bed and lying on the unaffected side reduce intraocular pressure in the affected eye. The other positions would not reduce the intraocular pressure within the affected eye and could cause more damage.
